Rakim Athelaston Mayers, the artist popularly known as ASAP Rocky, is one of America’s finest hip-hop artists of this generation. The rapper, who is also Rihanna’s boyfriend, doesn’t seem to have a lot of relationship-wrecking scandals around him. But one common thing among celebrities is having children whether or not they are in relationships.
ASAP Rocky does not have kids (yet). He and his girlfriend Rihanna are expecting their first child, due to be born in 2022.
Since he’s not a full-on dad just yet, let’s look at ASAP Rocky’s relationship with his would-be baby mama and a little bit about the rapper’s own family background. Maybe we’ll find some clues as to how he will be as a father.
Baby bump reveal
In January 2022, ASAP Rocky and Rihanna were spotted in public with the Fendi boss displaying a baby bump. The images went viral, and fans rushed to congratulate her.
Rihanna didn’t hesitate in showing off her bump as she ensured to wear clothes that revealed it.
So, we can’t say that ASAP Rocky is already a dad. We, along with the couple’s biggest fans, await with bated breath for their announcement.
How many children does ASAP Rocky have?
As far as we can guess, ASAP Rocky is about to be a father to one child, with girlfriend Rihanna.
But, since the couple has been quite secretive about the pregnancy details, it’s quite possible that they will deliver more than one baby. RiRi could be pregnant with twins! (We’re secretly wishing).
Who is ASAP Rocky’s father?
Adrian Mayers is ASAP Rocky’s late father, who died from complications due to pneumonia in 2012. In 2000, he was arrested for drug peddling and stayed in jail for some years.
After he died in 2012, his widow and children had to find ways to survive. He had three children, and two resorted to drug peddling, including Rocky. ASAP’s brother died in 2001 in a shootout with a rival gang.
Who is ASAP Rocky’s baby mama?
By now you already know who ASAP Rocky’s (would-be) baby mama is. And since there are very little updates on the pregnancy, let’s shift our focus onto Rihanna, who is looking gorgeous celebrating her pregnant body.
Rihanna is a singer, producer, actress, and fashion entrepreneur. She is one of the youngest black female billionaires in the world. She had received around 41 awards for her music, with nine Grammys.
The entrepreneur also owns FENTY, a beauty line that consists of makeup products, clothes, shoes and bags. Rihanna was worth $1.9 billion in 2021.
The fashion mogul was discovered in the early 2000s and got signed into DefJam in 2005. She released many chart-topping songs (remember “Pon De Replay?”) and garnered millions of fans around the world.
One of the reasons people love is her is because of her tenacity and ability to boldly express herself. Plus, her fashion sense gets to people because she combines various materials and colors, then delivers a beautiful ensemble which becomes a statement.
Rihanna last released an album in 2016 and fans have been anticipating a follow-up for years since. It has even become an internet joke where anything that is taking a wee bit too long is compared to her releasing new music.
How many baby mamas does ASAP Rocky have?
Having children with multiple baby mamas is not uncommon in the music industry. It’s almost like you can’t fully belong if you don’t have children with a couple of women.
Despite ASAP Rocky being a handsome and amazing rapper, he still went against the norm. He is quite a rarity in that regard; we can only think of two other rappers who have just one baby mama, and those would be Kanye West and Travis Scott.
Quick aside. Kanye West and Travis Scott’s baby mamas are actually sisters, Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner, respectively. Kim and Kanye share four kids together, namely North, Saint, Psalm, and Chicago.
Travis and Kylie, though not married, share two children together. The name of their second child, a boy, has not been announced to the public. Their eldest daughter’s name is Stormi.
What is the gender of ASAP Rocky’s baby?
RiRi and ASAP Rocky had been so secretive about the details of the pregnancy–so much so that not even an ultrasound pic was released.
Unlike other celebrity moms-to-be, RiRi does not publicly document her first pregnancy journey. Her social media profiles bear no traces of a doctor’s appointment or an ultrasound photo, which fans can pore over for details and “Easter eggs” to spot.
No gender reveal posts ever came from the couple or from their families/friends. They remain tight-lipped on this one and we’ll all just have to patiently wait. And wish them all the best!
