Rihanna & ASAP Rocky’s Street Style Reigns Supreme For Date Night Sans Their Sons

by

2023 has been a big year for Rihanna, so, understandably, she’s spending the final months laying low. She began with a legendary Super Bowl Halftime performance in February, just months after giving birth to her firstborn. Many thought Rih would use that moment to announce a new album or tour, but instead, she revealed another budding baby bump to the world. Since then, she and ASAP Rocky have been spending most of their time out of the spotlight raising RZA and Riot Mayers the best way they know how.

TMZ caught up with the New Yorker while he was jogging earlier this month, and he offered an update on his long-awaited album. As for the Barbadian, she’s been continuing to make money moves through her various Fenty brands, and piecing together iconic vintage archival outfits that prove why Rocky picked her to star in his “Fashion Killa” music video all those years ago. According to Vogue, Rihanna and her other half were out in Los Angeles this past weekend, where she sported a 1999 Roberto Cavalli coat that cost an estimated $17,200.

She and her rapper beau hit up Wally’s in Beverly Hills for dinner. Though we’ve often seen them bring RZA out to dine with them in the past, the 1-year-old and his brother stayed at home to allow mom and dad an evening of romance and relaxation. Rocky looked dapper as always alongside Rih, perfectly complimenting her retro, boss b**ch ensemble.

We can’t share the paparazzi photos of Rihanna’s iconic Roberto Cavalli vintage coat on HNHH, but you can find them on Vogue. Elsewhere in the news, the Bad Gal and ASAP Rocky are sparking engagement rumours after she was rocking a massive ring on that finger recently.

by

One of the most influential and creative people in the hip-hop world is New Yorker ASAP Rocky. Ever since he came into the rap game in the early 2010s decade, he has always had a sense of fashion and mystique around him. Part of the reason he has become a fashion mogul is due to a lot of his inspirations and the greats that have come before him. Influencing figures like the late great Virgil Abloh and Pharrell Williams forged the path for Rocky. Now, he continues to make his own legacy with his latest collaboration.

Just yesterday, October 23, A$AP revealed that he was going to be teaming up with streetwear and athletic brand PUMA. He is following in his significant other’s footsteps, Rihanna. The company is working with the rising league that is F1, or Formula 1 racing. Down below, Rocky displayed some of the slick items that are a part of this partnership.

HipHopDX reports that PUMA’s website made this official yesterday as well. Rocky shared his enthusiasm for the project’s potential. “Working with brands as iconic as PUMA, and as innovative as F1, has been truly inspiring. When the world sees what we’re doing, I believe a shift will happen with how brands approach taking risks and working with diverse creatives.” This is yet another feather in the cap for him. Congratulations to ASAP Rocky!

What are your initial thoughts on ASAP Rocky being the creative director for PUMA’s F1 partnering? Does this solidify him as the greatest fashion designer in rap history? Do you think this means DON’T BE DUMB is going to be coming out even later now? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

Rihanna Has Reportedly Inked A $32 Million Deal With Live Nation To Kickstart Her Comeback, But Fans Aren’t Buying It

Despite Drake’s best attempt to rain on Rihanna and ASAP Rocky’s post-baby bliss (with a messy diss record), the pair remain unbothered. After the track was released, fans rushed to social media, hoping that the two would issue a response to Drake’s throwaway bars. Although they have yet to do so, that day may soon come. Rocky’s forthcoming album, Don’t Be Dumb, is nearly complete, and according to Mirror, Rihanna is gearing up for a significant comeback.

The outlet alleged that Rihanna inked a $32 million deal with Live Nation to kickstart her return. In the report, they suggested that the deal terms included a world tour. But with no album out, such a venture wouldn’t make sense. However, the publisher suggested that Rihanna will drop two new albums over the next two years.

Following her Super Bowl LVII halftime show performance, Rihanna told British Vogue she planned to drop a new album in 2023. However, her second pregnancy put that on the back burner.

“I want it to be this year,” she said at the time. “Honestly, it’d be ridiculous if it’s not this year. But I just want to have fun. I just want to make music and make videos. And I need the right background music with the visuals. I can’t just go shoot a video of me talking.”

Fans took to social media to react to the alleged news. Check out a few of them below.

Here Are The Features On Kid Cudi’s Upcoming ‘Insano’ Album

After he received less than favorable feedback from fans regarding his teaser snippet for the song “Flex,” Kid Cudi returned to the creativity drawing board. Unfortunately, extra time was needed to make that musical pivot so that Cudi could rethink his approach for his forthcoming album, Insano. Ultimately, he postponed the project, which was slated to drop in June. Due to the temporary album setback, Cudi has fed fans other collaborations, including a campaign with Star Trek and a song with Lil Durk.

Thanks to his recent concert, supporters have more insight into what the future holds for the body of work. Here are the features on Cudi’s upcoming ‘Insano’ album. Following Cudi’s last Cudder’s Clubhouse performance at Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, New York, on Friday, October 15, he took to X (formerly Twitter) to confirm a handful of collaborations that could appear on the project.

Cudi confirmed Pusha T and Travis Scott during an exchange with a fan on the platform. According to HotNewHipHop, other suspected cameos include ASAP Rocky, Young Thug, and Lil Yachty.

Cudi felt generous during his online browsing and confirmed that Insano will still be released in January 2024.

Several pop-up dates remain for Cudi’s intimate show, including stops in Dallas and Houston, Texas; more details will be revealed then.

Drake’s New Song “Fear Of Heights” Features Numerous References To Rihanna

by

Late last night Drake dropped his highly anticipated new album For All The Dogs and fans are spending a lot of time dissecting it. There are stacks and stacks of talented collaborators on board for the project. J. Cole, 21 Savage, SZA, Bad Bunny, Sexyy Red, Lil Yachty, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Chief Keef, Yeat, and Teezo Touchdown are the credited featured and there’s even more talent involved behind the scenes. But people are also talking about multiple artists who don’t even appear on the album, as they allegedly get dissed in the lyrics.

One of the biggest reported disses Drake threw out is at Rihanna on the song “Fear Of Heights.” It comes pretty early on the album and the very first verse is littered with some not-so-subtle references to Drizzy’s former collaborator. The most obvious and direct is his repeated use of the word Anti, which is the title of Rihanna’s critically acclaimed 2016 album. But throughout the verse, he makes reference to the pair’s past together. They’ve allegedly dated at numerous points from 2009 all the way up to 2018. Now, Rihanna has two children with another rapper, A$AP Rocky, who seemingly also gets referenced in the verse. Check out the entire song below.

Drake Making Rihanna References In New Song

Another high-profile artist who might have been dissed is The Weeknd, though fans are still divided. Drake does call him out by name and draw direct comparisons to his old rival PARTYNEXTDOOR, so it’s certainly possible. Other fans think it’s more of a statement on who Drizzy’s realest fans are.

J. Cole makes an appearance on the album’s song “First Person Shooter.” During his verse on the song, he takes some shots at NBA Youngboy. It didn’t take Youngboy long to respond to the shots he fired, responding before most people had even heard the song. What do you think of Drake’s shots at Rihanna on his new song “Fear Of Heights”? Let us know in the comment section below.

Is Drake’s ‘Fear Of Heights’ About Rihanna?

When Lil Yachty said that his friend and frequent collaborator, Drake’s For All The Dogs album would address some controversial topics, he wasn’t exaggerating. No, the “8AM In Charlotte” rapper doesn’t use the 23-track project to provide commentary on social issues. However, he still managed to stir up social media timelines due to his songs’ subject matter. One song, in particular, has users online in a tizzy. After listening to the record, supporters ran to their profile to ask:

Is Drake’s “Fear Of Heights” about Rihanna?

Many users believe so, as the opening verse includes several subtle references to the singer’s nickname, past album, song lyrics, and more. “Why they make it sound like I’m still hung up on you? / That could never be / Gyal can’t ruin me / Better him than me / Better it’s not me / I’m anti, I’m anti / Yeah, and the sex was average with you / Yeah, I’m anti ’cause I had it with you / Okay, I’m auntie like your daddy sister / Auntie like a family picture / And I had way badder b*tches than you, TBH / Yeah, that man, he still with you, he can’t leave you / Y’all go on vacation, I bet it’s Antilles,” rapped Drake.

Rihanna isn’t the only person fans feel like was slighted on the For All The Dogs. Some believe Drake threw jabs at The Weeknd. At the same time, J. Cole delivered a lyrical punch to NBA YoungBoy. However, the Rihanna references struck a nerve with fans as the musician is now happily committed to her partner, fellow rapper ASAP Rocky, with whom she shares two young children. Rihanna and Drake reportedly dated each other off-and-one in 2009 and then again between 2016 and 2018. Could ASAP Rocky’s song at Rolling Loud Miami 2023 been a pre-rebuttal to Drake instead of Travis Scott?

Check out a few fans’ reactions to the alleged diss and listen to “Fear Of Heights” below.

A$AP Rocky

A$AP Rocky is loading the release of his next album, DON’T BE DUMB, and fans are wondering what’s on the way. If you ask the man himself, Rocky said he thinks it’s his best work.

“I’ve been really experimenting as usual and what I like about this is it feels like my best work yet,” said Rocky to DAZED magazine. “I want to leave expectations wide and open. I don’t want to tell you what to expect. I just want people to experience it how they do naturally.”

In July, A$AP Rocky treated fans to an electrifying new video for his latest track, “RIOT (Rowdy Pipe’n).” The song, released on July 21st, is a sneak peek into his highly anticipated upcoming album under A$AP Worldwide/RCA Records. Notably, the track boasts production credits from the multi-talented Pharrell Williams, adding to its allure.

Alongside the song release, Rocky collaborated with Beats to launch a campaign for the all-new Beats Studio Pro. In a short film titled “Iconic Sound,” directed and starring Rocky himself, the Beats Studio Pro takes center stage, showcasing the perfect blend of music and technology.

The excitement doesn’t end there; during his Rolling Loud performance, Rocky surprised fans with a sneak preview of three unreleased songs, including “STOLE YA FLOW,” further building anticipation for his forthcoming album.

Rihanna and ASAP Rocky posed for a sweet new photoshoot with their two children: RZA Athelston Mayers and their new baby boy, Riot Rose Mayers. This is the first photo of Riot.

In the pics, Rihanna is holding her newborn, wrapped in a comfortable blanket. Rocky is carrying RZA, who is just as fashionable as the parents, who dressed him up in a leather jacket.

In another photo, Rocky puts RZA up on his shoulders as the baby smiles. Eventually, Rocky and Rihanna swap the children to try a different pose — while still absolutely being the coolest and cutest.

Rihanna has previously shared about wanting to have a larger family.

“My wish would be I would like to have more kids but whatever God wants for me, I’m here,” Rihanna told British Vogue back in February. She had revealed her pregnancy during her Super Bowl performance.

“We’re best friends with a baby,” she added about how she parents with Rocky. “We have to be on the same page, but we’ve always kind of had that in our relationship. Everything changes when you have a baby, but I wouldn’t say it’s done anything but made us closer.”

ASAP Rocky And His Attorney, Joe Tacopina, Have Reportedly Been Named In A Defamation Lawsuit

“Riot (Rowdy Pipe’n)” rapper ASAP Rocky is currently laying low with his partner, music superstar Rihanna, while they celebrate the birth of their second child. Unfortunately, that at-home bonding time may be cut short as Rocky (real name Rakim Mayers) could be heading to a courtroom to clear his name.

According to Rolling Stone, both Mayers and his attorney, Joe Tacopina, have reportedly been named in a defamation lawsuit. In court documents obtained by the publisher, several public remarks made by or on behalf of the pair regarding his ongoing felony assault case (which dates back to November 2021) are allegedly damaging.

The alleged victim and former ASAP Mob member Terell Ephron (aka ASAP Relli) and his legal representative, Camille Vasquez, have filed a suit against the parties, accusing them of slander and making false statements to the press. One of the remarks came via a statement shared with Rolling Stone, where Tacopina alleged that Ephron’s civil lawsuit for the reported shooting was him “trying to get money from Rocky” and referring to the incident as a “false scenario.”

Vasquez emphasized those statements:“damage [Ephron’s] reputation and his personal brand; goodwill in the community as a member of A$AP Mob,” which could result in loss of future wages. The documents list that Ephron is seeking punitive or exemplary damages in addition to his incurred legal fees.

Mayers’ preliminary hearing is scheduled for November 8.
