Rihanna And ASAP Rocky Meet With French President Emmanuel Macron

by

Rihanna and ASAP Rocky have had a busy itinerary this week. The pair are in France for Paris Fashion Week and have kept busy. At the start of the week, Rihanna popped up for the Christian Dior show. She was sporting a layered black look that left fans a little divided. Later in the week she and Rocky popped up together where her fit was a lot less divisive. But that wasn’t the full story as many online were looking for an explanation from her hair-dresser.

Now their newest appearance may be the biggest yet. Earlier this year the couple were spotted at Elysee Palace after meeting with French president Emmanuel Macron. It’s Rocky’s first time officially crossing paths with Macron but Rihanna has some history with him. RiRi has sat down with Macron twice in the past to discuss educational initiatives she supports. The reason for her newest visit with Macron alongside Rocky is currently unknown. Check out the pictures of the couple leaving the building below.

Throughout this week, Rihanna has been subject to a new spat of rumors. Seemingly based on nothing else but her outfits largely covering up her stomach, pregnancy rumors have spread. With nearly every picture of the singer that emerged from fashion week, the comments swarmed with those speculating that a she could have a third child on the way.

Rihanna and ASAP Rocky had their second child Riot just last year. It came after she surprised fans with an announcement of her second pregnancy during her highly-anticipated Super Bowl Halftime show performance. It’s her second child with ASAP Rocky following the birth of their son RZA back in 2022. Jokes about Rihanna’s long drought without a new studio album have persisted for years with many fans hoping that it would come with last year’s Super Bowl show. What do you think of Rihanna and ASAP Rocky meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron while in Paris for fashion week? Let us know in the comment section below.

Did ASAP Rocky Diss Drake On Kid Cudi’s New Album?

by

The 2024 calendar isn’t even two full weeks in and already, we’ve got rap beef cooking on the horizon — maybe.

Fans pressing play on Kid Cudi’s new album Insano are pretty convinced that there is, as line from guest rapper ASAP Rocky on “WOW” sounds like it could be referring to Drake. As true rap beef lore heads may remember, Drake has feuded with both fellow blog-era rappers as often as he’s collaborated with them, so there could be a little bit of merit to the speculation.

In his verse on the song, Rocky raps, “These n***as can’t stomach me, gotta go get a mandrake.” Fans have interpreted this as a clever way to sneak Drake’s name into the line, which references a natural remedy for stomach problems. It could also be reference to Drake’s 2023 admission that he’s taking time off to deal with a stomach issue. You can hear the song for yourself above.

Rocky citing himself as the source of Drake’s tummy troubles might be a nod to their shared dating history; Drake dated Rocky’s current partner Rihanna in 2016, however, she moved on pretty quickly. And while Drake insists he’s over it — most recently, on his For All The Dogs song “Fear Of Heights” — the fact that he keeps talking about it undercuts his argument pretty thoroughly.

(Drake also notably had a back and forth with Cudi after the Cleveland rapper appeared to shade him on Twitter in 2015. Drake later dissed him on “Two Birds, One Stone,” then collaborated with him on Certified Lover Boy. Basically, rap is wrestling, all this is kayfabe, and it’s hilarious that people keep taking these artists seriously.)

In any event, there’s probably a certain amount of good-natured gamesmanship going on here; and we’ll probably see Drake and ASAP on each other’s music at some point in the future. In the meantime, it’s fun to speculate (for some people) about when and how Drake will respond.

ASAP Rocky Might’ve Issued Drake Response On Kid Cudi’s New Album “INSANO”

by

A$AP Rocky recently featured on Kid Cudi’s new album INSANO, which is a star-studded and pretty wild affair. There’s a lot of production versatility, plenty of themes, aesthetics, and appeals to unpack, plus a slew of creative collaborations like this one with the New York MC. On the track “WOW,” ASAP Rocky lets off the following bars, which many interpreted as a dig towards everyone’s favorite Toronto hitmaker. “These n***as can’t stomach me, gotta go get a mandrake,” he spits. Moreover, amandrake is a Mediterranean root commonly used to treat stomach issues, and this may be a reference to Drake’s alleged diss against the 35-year-old and their overlapping romantic interest.

Furthermore, the 6ix God had seemingly taken shots at his former flame Rihanna, who is of course now ASAP Rocky’s boo, and Rocky himself on the For All The Dogs cut “Fear of Heights” last year. “Why they make it sound like I’m still hung up on you?” Drake croons on the song. “That could never be, gyal can’t run 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’s sister, auntie like a family picture. And I had way badder b***hes than you, TBH. Yeah, that man, he still with you, he can’t leave you, y’all go on vacation, I bet it’s Antigua.”

However, Drake also had a specific reference to the A$AP Mob frontman on this album, particularly on the Lil Yachty-assisted “Another Late Night.” “I ain’t Pretty Flacko, b***h, this s**t get really rocky. Damn, what? Dirty how I did him in the Wraith,” he raps on the song. Given that ASAP Rocky didn’t respond to a TMZ reporter’s question about this alleged diss a while ago, we still don’t know how if he took it as such. Also, these two rappers have had a pretty solid relationship in the past, so this is all pretty speculative since they haven’t given us any real reason to think there’s some beef brewing.

Still, it’s hard to read these bars and not think that something went down in the past couple of years. Fans will likely continue to draw these parallels, even when they don’t find the most solid evidence in the world. We’ll see whether either superstar has anything else to say about their relationship. On that note, stick around on HNHH for the latest updates and more news on ASAP Rocky and Drake.

Why Is ASAP Rocky In Court?

ASAP Rocky returned to court this week to enter a plea in the ongoing assault case against him brought by former ASAP Mob member ASAP Relli, maintaining his innocence. Although he had previously pled not guilty to shooting Relli in the hand, after a judge ruled that prosecutors had enough evidence to warrant a trial, he was compelled to do so again. According to Rolling Stone, Rocky and his lawyer, Joe Tacopina, hope that the trial can begin by September, so that the “DMB” rapper can focus on “enjoying his family.”

Who Is ASAP Rocky Accused Of Shooting?

Rocky is accused of shooting Relli in November 2021 after a confrontation over a mutual friend’s funeral expenses. Relli, whose real name is Terell Ephron, says that after he sent Rocky an email accusing him of being “fake,” he was ambushed by Rocky, who pulled a handgun on him. He said that after “talking a bunch of sh*t” to Rocky, the rapper turned around and fired several shots, with one hitting Relli in the hand.

Relli is also suing Rocky for assault, battery, negligence, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Tacopina has characterized the accusations as a shakedown, an attempt to extort money from Rocky in exchange for Relli dropping the charges. While detectives recovered private security footage they say backs up Relli’s account, they have so far been unable to find any physical evidence that ties Rocky to the alleged crime. No guns were recovered and no fingerprints were found on the shell casings Relli says he collected from the scene.

Did ASAP Rocky Plead Not Guilty?

Not only did ASAP Rocky plead not guilty — twice — but he and Tacopina also maintain that they have evidence to back up their own insistence that Relli tried to extort Rocky and perjured himself in court by saying he never asked Rocky for money.

When Is ASAP Rocky’s Next Court Date?

ASAP Rocky is due back in court on March 6.

It happened. This morning, January 8, Kid Cudi finally revealed the tracklist for Insano. In September, Cudi announced that he had “to push Insano back til January,” and now, it is one of Uproxx’s “Most Anticipated Albums Of 2024” list.

The 21-song tracklist boasts features from A$AP Rocky, DJ Drama, Lil Wayne, Lil Yachty, Pharrell, Travis Scott, Young Thug, and the late XXXTentacion. “At The Party” featuring Pharrell and Scott arrived in November, a worthy consolation prize to fans still crushed from December 2022, when Cudi put to bed any hope of a collaborative album from Cudi and Scott.

“INSANO is to be enjoyed from the beginning to the end,” Cudi wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Please if u can, refrain from jumpin around just to hear the features. Experience it like a film, put it on and let it ride. Trust me. I designed it that way for the best experience possible [smiley emoji, peace-sign emoji, praying-hands emoji, stars emoji] thanx.”

WATCH: A$AP Rocky Stars in Fenty Skin ‘Lux Balm’ Ad

asap rocky stars in new ad for fenty beauty collab with his baby mom 1200x675

A$AP Rocky is starring in the latest Fenty Skin ad. Rocky is representing for Rihanna’s Lux Balm, detailed as a “Barbados Cherry-powered lip balm.”

The product’s description states it was created to bring “dry lips back to life with instant hydration.”

Rihanna is gushing over A$AP Rocky’s fatherhood abilities. Speaking with Access Hollywood at the Fenty x Puma launch party, Rih Rih revealed that Rocky’s fatherly duties turn her on.

“I loved him differently as a dad,” Rocky said. “This is major, it’s a turn on. It’s just like, ‘Wow. What a leader, what a great, patient, loving.”

She added, “And my kids are obsessed with him. I’m just a background, I’m an extra. It happens. It doesn’t matter if it’s girls or boys, they love their dad differently and I love to see it.”

Last year, a kid was introduced to Rihanna, and he did what any of us would do: pause, gasp, and become speechless.

The memorable moment happened at the Vegas F1 Race. The kid met A$AP Rocky, who handed him a t-shirt from his collection. Afterwards, the kid was led to another section and the magic moment happened. You can see it go down below.

ASAP Rocky Is The Star Of Rihanna’s New Fenty Skin Lux Balm Campaign

Most Rihanna fans accepted years ago that the pop artist would be shifting her focus to her Fenty Beauty line. But it looks like ASAP Rocky may now be doing the same. Today (January 4), Fenty Skin and Fenty Beauty shared a new advertisement for the brand’s new Lux Balm.

The clip features Rocky in a video montage rocking the balm, and showing off tubes of the product. In the background of the clip is a portion of Rocky’s song, “RIOT (Rowdy Pipe’n)”

“Flossy, glossy / Nah, b*tch, this ain’t lip gloss / balm up in my palm collab’ / New with my baby mom,” raps Rocky on the song.

According to a description of the balm. “This juicy, Barbados Cherry-powered lip balm packed with vitamin E + shea butter brings dry lips back to life with instant hydration”

In recent time, Rocky has appeared in many fashion campaigns, including some for Gucci. However, he still continues to tease new music. In an interview with Dazed Digital, he opened up about his long-awaited fourth album.

“I’ve been really experimenting as usual and what I like about this is it feels like my best work yet,” said Rocky.

The Lux Balm is now available at Sephora and Kohl’s stores, as well as FentySkin.com.

Since his emergence in the hip-hop scene in the early 2010s, ASAP Rocky has carved a prominent position and significant influence in the music industry. His distinctive style and unmatched flow have earned him a substantial fortune.

As of 2024, WealthyGorilla estimates the rapper’s net worth at around $20 million. This article delves into the various sources of his impressive wealth.

Born Rakim Mayers in 1988, ASAP Rocky grew up in Harlem, New York City. He began his foray into the world of music in 2007, joining the ASAP Mob, a Harlem-based collective of rappers, producers, and creatives. With his debut mixtape Live. Love. ASAP in 2011, he quickly gained attention, which was available as a free download online. This mixtape’s success led to a record deal with Polo Grounds Music, RCA Records, and Sony Music Entertainment, worth an estimated $3 million.

In January 2013, ASAP Rocky released his debut studio album, “Long. Live. ASAP,” which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart. He followed this up with two more successful albums: At. Long. Last. ASAP in 2015 and Testing in 2018. Collaborations with some of the music industry’s biggest names, such as Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna, and Tyler, the Creator, along with album sales, have significantly contributed to his net worth.

In addition to his work as a rapper, ASAP Rocky has established himself in the fashion world. He has participated in various high-profile fashion campaigns, partnering with brands like Calvin Klein, Dior Homme, and Guess. His keen sense of style and fashion influence has led to lucrative deals and endorsements, adding to his wealth.

Entrepreneurship and Acting Boosting ASAP Rocky Net Worth

ASAP Rocky’s entrepreneurial spirit has also played a role in his financial success. In 2016, he launched his creative agency, AWGE, which provides a platform for him and other creatives to collaborate on various projects, including merchandise, music videos, and collaborative albums. Through AWGE, Rocky has worked with popular brands like Under Armour, Needles, and Selfridges on exclusive collections.

Rocky has also dabbled in acting, appearing in several films, such as “Dope” (2015) and “Monster” (2018). While his acting career is still in its early stages, these roles have undoubtedly contributed to his growing net worth.

It is important to note that Rocky has faced several legal issues over the years. In 2019, he became involved in a high-profile incident in Sweden, resulting in assault charges and a later conviction. The case garnered worldwide attention, and although he did not receive a prison sentence, the financial and legal implications of the case may have impacted his net worth.

In conclusion, ASAP Rocky’s estimated net worth of $20 million in 2024 can be attributed to his success as a rapper, his influence in the fashion industry, his entrepreneurial ventures, and acting roles. Despite facing legal challenges, his wealth stands as a testament to his enduring influence and relevance in the world of entertainment. We can expect his net worth to continue to grow in the coming years.

Metro Boomin Had A ‘Great’ 2023, But Has Plans To Release Three Albums In 2024

Metro Boomin has big plans for the year, despite having one of his best year’s professionally in 2023. After releasing his second studio album Heroes & Villains in December 2022, he stampeded into 2023 with a parade of releases including the Spider-Verse soundtrack, Young Thug’s album Business Is Business, and even a symphony orchestra. But even with all these accomplishments in his rearview, he looks to remain as busy as ever in 2024, with not just one but three new albums on the way — and maybe even more.

After boasting “2023 was great but just watch what I do 2024” on Twitter, a fan asked how many albums he’ll be dropping in 2024. “3 at the very least,” he replied. And although he didn’t go into detail, hints he shared throughout last year gave us some clue what those albums could be.

Shortly after the release of Heroes & Villains, ASAP Rocky joked that his next album, Don’t Be Dumb, would have so much input from Metro that it should be called Flacko Boomin. Then, a month later, Future suggested that his joint album with Metro would be the “album of the year” — although there’s still no sign of it, almost a full year later. JID also confirmed he and Metro have a joint project in the works, and just before the holidays, Metro said he and Zaytoven are working on a few ideas for a potential project, either with an artist or a compilation of artists.

ASAP Rocky & Rihanna’s Matching Shoes On Aspen Trip With Sons Show How In Sync They Are

A lot has changed for Rihanna and ASAP Rocky this year, but at the end of it all, they remain among our favourite style icons. For the Bad Gal, 2023 began with a bang as she prepared for (and bodied) her Super Bowl Halftime performance. During that, she confirmed that baby number two was on the way before spending the spring and summer serving up more maternity inspiration for fans.

Now, Rih and Rocky continue to settle into parenthood, though they’ve admitted they’re still hoping to add a little girl into the mix in the future. It’s unclear if the fashionista hopes to get pregnant again so soon after having Riot, like she did with RZA, or if she’ll be taking time to focus on releasing the music she’s been promising fans for some time now, and heading out on a subsequent tour.

While we wait to find out what her 2024 plans are, paparazzi have spotted the Fenty Beauty founder out in Aspen with her family. Earlier this week, cameras caught all three Mayers boys and their matriarch, with Rocky stealing the show in his disco ball-inspired pants. The Testing rapper paired the bold piece with a brown and white fur coat over a grey hoodie, notably carrying both of their little boys, who were also dapperly dressed. Rih looked far more casual than ASAP in her mom jeans and shacket. Still, she and the New Yorker did cutely coordinate by rocking the same shoes.

In terms of their aesthetics, Rihanna and ASAP Rocky are always on point. However, the Barbadian is reportedly dealing with her share of anxiety over the possibility of her man serving time in prison over his gun trial with ASAP Relli. Read more about that at the link below, and since we can’t post them directly on HNHH you can find paparazzi snaps of Riot and RZA’s parents out in Aspen by clicking the Via.
