A$AP Rocky Weathered The Friend Zone
“People don’t get out of the friend zone very easily with me,” she said. “And I certainly took a while to get over how much I know him and how much he knows me, because we also know how much trouble we can land each other in.”
During the 2012 VMAs in when A$AP shot his initial shot. “He grabbed my ass on stage,” she remembered. “That was not part of the rehearsal! I was like, ‘What are you doing!?’” But rather than get upset, she let it go. “My manager was like, Oh, God, she must like this guy a little bit. She never lets this shit slide.” Eight years later, the two were in quarantine getting much more acquainted.
“He became my family in that time,” she said. “I cooked our food on this little janky grill I bought from Walmart. I still have it, too. It works like nobody’s business. I love the simple things but also the grand adventures. There’s no pretentious my-brand-your-brand bullshit, it’s just us living. I just feel like I can do any part of life by his side.”
With Rihanna being worth a cool 1.7 Billion, she understands that motherhood should be a lot on easier on her than it was with her mom raising her in Barbados with limited resources.
“Balance is one of my biggest challenges and always has been,” she said. “And now there’s another human being coming into play, it changes what that means again. Still, I have businesses that aren’t going to run themselves. My mom handled the three of us with not even close to the amount of resources that I have, so I can absolutely do it. What it looks like? I’m not sure.”
