ASAP Rocky Hints At Marriage With Rihanna Again On His New Song ‘Riot (Rowdy Pipe’n)’

by

ASAP Rocky has been busy with a pregnant Rihanna as well as working on his new album. About the latter, he said in January, “It’s coming. It’s finished and we just putting the finishing touches on it.”

He’s back with “Riot (Rowdy Pipe’n),” his first new song of the year. The exhilarating song adds to rumors that he and Rihanna are in fact married: “My wife is erotic, I’m smokin’ exotic,” he raps.

At a Spotify Beach performance in June, the rapper dedicated “DMB” to Rihanna, saying “my beautiful wife in the motherf**king building! I love her.” Also, at the end of Rocky’s “DMB” video from last year, his grills read “Marry Me?” while Rihanna’s grills read, “I do.”

ASAP Rocky discussed fatherhood in December of last year. “Honestly, I think fatherhood gives me more time to do exactly what I want,” he said. “I don’t have time for anything that isn’t priorities. It helps you prioritize, honestly. I love it. Everything is just based around my newfound love for being a dad and a family man. It’s lit right now. I can’t even describe it. Yo, you see this smile! I’m all smiles right now, man.”

Jay-Z Could Win An Emmy Thanks To Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime Performance

The recently announced nominations for the upcoming 75th annual Primetime Emmy Awards include a very big name from the music world that is rarely associated with TV. Jay-Z, who prefers to operate from behind the scenes rather than in front of the camera, is nominated for Outstanding Directing For A Variety Special for The Apple Music Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show Starring Rihanna alongside Hamish Hamilton. The special is also nominated for Outstanding Production Design For A Variety Special, Outstanding Music Direction, Outstanding Variety Special (Live), and Outstanding Technical Direction and Camerawork For A Special.

The other nominees Jay finds himself up against include Paul Miller for Carol Burnett: 90 Years Of Laughter + Love, Joel Gallen for Chris Rock: Selective Outrage, Glenn Weiss for the Oscars, and Linda Mendoza for Wanda Sykes: I’m An Entertainer. It’s Jay’s second nomination for an Emmy; he was nominated as Outstanding Executive Producer/Performer in 2015 for the HBO concert film, Beyonce And JAY Z On The Run.

Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show was incredibly successful, reportedly bringing in more viewers than the game itself. The show was notable for revealing Rihanna’s second pregnancy.

The Emmys were originally planned for September 18, but with the ongoing WGA strike — and the impending strike by the SAG — that date will most likely change.

Rihanna’s Striking New Lingerie Photos For Savage X Fenty Show Off Her Baby Bump (And More)

Billie Eilish recently deemed Rihanna ‘the hottest person to ever exist in the history of the world,’ and Savage X Fenty’s latest promotional campaign is all the proof you’ll need. To launch the company’s new Sheer X collection, the “Umbrella” singer stripped down to undies to serve as the ad’s model. In the sexy photos showing off her baby bump (and then some), the provocative images suggest that everything’s OK with the company since the announcement of her stepping down as CEO.

The mogul told Vogue she would turn the reins to Hillary Super in June. “It’s been beautiful to see our vision for Savage X Fenty impact the industry at such an incredible magnitude over the last five years,” Rihanna said. “This is just the beginning for us, and we’re going to continue to expand in ways that always connect with the consumer.”

However, based on the website link shared in the musician’s tweet, she might be hinting at a future name change. Since its inception, the company has been referenced to as Savage X Fenty, and its official domain reflected that. However, now once you visit the site, the link updates to savagex.com instead of its original savagexfenty.com.

Rihanna loves to bare it all in risque photo shoots, including her recent maternity images titled “Rub On Ya Titties.”

Rihanna Shows Off Growing Baby Bump In New Bra Pics

Rihanna’s pregnant with her second child, and that hasn’t stopped her from promoting her Sav x Fenty collection at all. Moreover, she still absolutely killed a recent photo shoot in just underwear for her latest offerings, and people went wild for it in the comments. Not only that, but she still goes pretty much anywhere and everywhere with her baby bump out, still providing some amazing fits on her way. Overall, even though there’s still a lot of anticipation for her next album, there’s also so much people obsess over regarding her that it surely holds them over. Regardless, time is ticking, and all of these outings just build that hype even more, and the love for her family is palpable.

Furthermore, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s first child RZA stole the world’s heart, even that of his legendary namesake. “It’s a great honor to know that there’s another generation that’s not even of my own household that feels the strength and the inspiration of that name,” the Wu-Tang icon told CNN. “RZA is only a name, it’s a title. So it’s an honor and I salute her and A$AP and their family. All the blessings in the world from me.”

In other Rihanna news, she doesn’t even have to drop new music to keep breaking records and making huge numbers. For example, she recently became the first female artist to have ten songs with over a billion streams on Spotify. In the comments of Rihanna’s celebratory post of the news, none other than Nicki Minaj dropped a congratulatory freestyle in the comments. Sure, maybe she should’ve taken the opportunity to record it in the studio, but maybe that’s just a special surprise to come- or a unique audio file gifted to RiRi.

“Not Bad Gal billi, poppin s**t like a wheelie,” Minaj spit in comment form. “I mean poppin like a pilly, like a really, Man Down ‘cuz she making a killy. SILLY! Bout to be pushin out a new kid like Gillie, Caribbean girls run it and AWWLLL these b***hes know da dilly. Okay bars #babydaddytellmeIGOTprettyeyes.” For more news and the latest updates on Rihanna, log back into HNHH.

In May, it was reported that Rihanna and ASAP Rocky‘s baby’s name is RZA, after the Wu-Tang Clan member. RZA has finally responded to this news — and of course, it’s with excitement.

The rapper told CNN that it’s “a great honor to know that there’s another generation that’s not even of my own household that feels the strength and the inspiration of that name.”

He continued, “RZA [isn’t] only a name, it’s a title. So it’s an honor and I salute her and ASAP and their family. All the blessings in the world from me.”

Rumors are still circulating that the pair are married, especially after ASAP Rocky dedicated his performance of “DMB” to Rihanna during a performance in Paris, describing her as “my beautiful wife in the motherf**king building! I love her.”

She recently revealed that she has stepped down from her position as the Savage X Fenty CEO. “It’s been beautiful to see our vision for Savage X Fenty impact the industry at such an incredible magnitude over the last five years. This is just the beginning for us, and we’re going to continue to expand in ways that always connect with the consumer,” she said.

RZA “Honored” By Rihanna And ASAP Rocky’s Baby Name

by

After months of waiting to find out what Rihanna and ASAP Rocky’s son was called, some fans were surprised by the news. Despite the initial surprise that the baby’s name was RZA, in reference to the Wu-Tang alum, the actual RZA sees it as an honor. According to HipHopDX, the rapper sat down with CNN and explained his feelings about the name. “It’s a great honor to know that there’s another generation that’s not even of my own household that feels the strength and the inspiration of that name,” he expressed. “RZA is only a name, it’s a title. So it’s an honor and I salute her and A$AP and their family. All the blessings in the world from me.”

On May 13th, Rocky and Rihanna’s baby celebrated his first birthday. In an Instagram post dedicated to him, Rocky revealed his name publicly for the first time. “WU TANG IZ 4 DA CHUREN.” HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY TO MY 1st BORN. RZA,” he included in the caption of the post. The accompanying photo was an adorable shot of the baby sitting next to both his happy parents.

RZA Loves Rihanna’s Baby Name

Given his status as a hip-hop legend, when RZA talks people tend to listen. Earlier this year he shouted out a new single from Burna Boy. He described the afrobeat star as “special” and operating in “his own unique chamber.” It isn’t the only time the rapper has stood up for afrobeats recently. When Lil Duval called the genre “the death of hip hop” earlier this year the Wu-Tang legend came to its defense. ““Afrobeats is Hip Hop. They basically doing their form of Hip Hop. Just like Trap was Hip Hop, just like G-Funk was Hip Hop.”

RZA also made an appearance on record earlier this year. He lent his voice to a song from Logic’s new album College Park, his first-ever independent release. What do you think of RZA’s response to Rihanna and ASAP Rocky naming their baby after him? Let us know in the comment section below.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky continues to give parenting goals. The two are in Barbados, and Rihanna shared an image of Rocky holding their son, RZA.

In the picture, Rocky lifts RZA in the sky. She captioned the post “my Bajan boyz.”

35-year-old mogul Rihanna is the first female artist to have ten songs hit one billion streams on Spotify.

The ‘Umbrella’ singer celebrated on her Instagram page, writing ‘Bad gal bili.’

‘Wit no new album…lemme talk my sh*t,’ the Barbardian-born beauty joked, adding a winking emoji with its tongue out next to an emoji of the flag of her home country.  

Her last album, Anti, dropped in 2016.  

The monumental achievement follows Rihanna’s viral SuperBowl LVII halftime performance, where the former Fenty CEO showed off her baby belly, revealing she was pregnant with her second child.

Arguably one of the most influential singers of the 21st century, Rihanna would go on to release several follow-up, record-breaking albums.

Her 2012 album, Unapologetic, was Rihanna’s first studio record to hit number one on the Billboard 200 chart.

The dedicated philanthropist also ventured out into multiple business ventures in the wake of her musical success.

Following the release of her sixth album in 2016, Rihanna founded Fenty Beauty in 2017.

Now regarded as one of the best makeup and skincare lines on the market, Fenty Beauty is used by 13% of cosmetics and makeup-users in the United States, according to Statista.

One year later, the Diamonds In The Sky singer founded her second successful business, a lingerie line she called Savage X Fenty.
