Are Rihanna and Asap Rockey really going to get married? Why is it hard for a lot of fans
to believe that Rihanna will finally settle down? How come she oversees all the red flags about her
boyfriend? Stick around to know the details. Bad at love
In 2005, Chris Brown and Rihanna met as two young, up-and-coming musicians in the music industry.
They didn't start dating until 2007. Then Rihanna began dating professional
baseball player Matt Kemp after her breakup with Brown. After being photographed together on New
Year's Eve in 2009 and then on a trip to Mexico in early 2010, the pair sparked dating rumors.
"Yeah!" gushed the former Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder to Us Weekly in May 2010.
That's my girl over there! She's just a good time. I enjoy being in her company."
They broke up in December 2010 due to the busy schedule of the singer.
When it was revealed that Brown had physically assaulted Rihanna on their way home from a
pre-Grammys party in February 2009, the pair had a sensational breakup. In March 2015, the singer of
"Look at Me Now" pleaded guilty to felony assault and completed probation, as well as community
service and domestic violence counseling. To everyone’s surprise, Brown and Rihanna
reconnected briefly in early 2013, with the singer of "Love the Way You Lie" telling Rolling Stone
at the time, "I realized it was more essential for me to be happy...." Even if it's a blunder,
it's my blunder." However, by April of that year, they had broken up for good.
Then Rihanna had been linked to many A star celebrities such as the football star Karim
Benzema, Lewis Hamilton, Travis Scott, Prince Harry, and Leonardo DiCaprio. But just like her
relationship with Chris Brown, her relationship with drake sparked a lot of headlines!
When Rihanna and Drake attended one other's gigs in 2016,
they ignited dating rumors of their own. At the MTV Video Music Awards in August, the "Hotline
Bling" rapper acknowledged their relationship when he claimed during a heartfelt speech for Rihanna's
Video Vanguard award that she was "someone I've been in love with since I was 22." The pair,
who have worked on songs including "Work" and "Take Care," arrived at a VMA afterparty
"looking very much like a couple and extremely in love," according to sources. Rihanna and Drake had
split over their schedules less than two months later, according to an E! News source, but were
"still in each other's lives" as close friends. Rihanna, on the other hand, told Vogue in June
2018 that she and Drake were no longer friends but were "not enemies either."
Even though he unfollowed her after the news of her pregnancy!
While on vacation in Spain in June 2017, Rihanna was seen making out with Saudi
businessman Hassan Jameel. "This connection is the real deal," a source claimed at the time.
Rihanna has expressed her love for him to pals and appears to be utterly enamored.
They've been spending a lot of time alone, away from prying eyes,
and they're really serious about each other. They're having a great time with each other."
When Jameel was seen out to dinner with Rihanna and her mother,
things appeared to be taking a serious turn. Their romance was mostly hidden from the public eye.
After nearly three years together, the couple announced their quits in January 2020. "Their
lives were too different, and it was hard to continue a relationship," an insider told People.
From friendzoned to loverzoned The rapper performed as Rihanna's
opening act on the North American leg of her Diamonds World Tour in 2013.
In the year 2015, The rapper denied ever being in a romantic relationship with his colleague in an
interview with NYC radio station Hot 97. He stated, "It never happened." "It would
have happened if it had happened. That was not the case... That isn't something I am looking
forward to. I'm looking forward to continuing my friendship with all of these women."
During Paris Fashion Week in 2018, the two sat in the front row of a Louis Vuitton show,
demonstrating how close they've remained throughout the years.
Rihanna's Diamond Ball is a fashion show as well as a fundraiser for the Clara Lionel Foundation,
which she founded to help educational projects all around the world.
Rocky wore a black suit and diamond stud earrings to the fourth annual Diamond Ball,
where he made his red carpet debut. After many years of friendship,
the pair made a stunning red carpet debut at the Fashion Awards, in December 2019.
Rihanna complimented her mint-green satin dress with a matching wrap,
gloves, and heels from her design label, Fenty. A diamond choker necklace completed her ensemble.
Rocky also showed his support for Rihanna's design sense by wearing a black Fenty suit.
The appearance had caused reigniting romance rumors. Even though she was still with Jameel!
It was also rumored that she cheated on Jameel with A$AP and that was the actual
reason they broke up but that was never confirmed. Rihanna enlisted Rocky to chat about all things
skincare in films recorded for Vogue and GQ, just in time for the debut of her Fenty Skin range.
"Men love their skin, and they take care of it, but they feel obligated almost to only use
products that are for men because anything beyond that feels too feminine, it's not
for them, they're not allowed, they don't have permission," Rihanna told her friend in the video.
In the video, the two interviewed each other for Vogue and GQ about the beauty industry. Rocky also
talked about his skincare routine.A$AP says, "I think the hardest part about working with you
is not goofing off and laughing the whole time." "This s—t is hilarious.
That is the most difficult part. It's just hard not to laugh because we're so cool."
He said about his skin: "I had to discover face cleansing and skincare all at the same
time when I was a young buck in the shower. You can't wash your body with the same rag
you wash your face with. I was lucky enough to be the type of guy that wants to wash my face."
The confirmation Rumors about their relationship
had been circulating for years, but they had both dated other people until late last year.
But this time we got proof, as the couple spent Christmas on a private yacht in Rihanna's native
Barbados in December 2020, where Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were seen kissing. They were spotted
together earlier this month at NYC's Beatrice Inn. Rocky also discussed how his trip to Barbados with
his girlfriend gave him a sense of 'homecoming.' 'It was insane. Before my father came to America,
I always imagined what it would be like for him,' the Babushka Boi rapper shared.
'And I had the opportunity to visit those locations, and believe it or not,
there was something nostalgic about it.' He described it as "foreign but familiar."
'This romance evolved since they were friends first,' a People source revealed in August.
They already knew and respected one another, so it was only a matter of time.'
They'd laid a strong foundation' and 'loved to laugh and have a good time together before
dating,' which makes for a solid romance now.' Then, in May of last year, he was featured in
a GQ profile, referring to Rihanna as "my lady" and exclaiming that she is "the love of my life."
“She amounts to probably a million of the other ones,' he said, calling her 'The One,' and adding,
'I think when you know, you know.' 'She's the One,' says A$AP Rocky.
In June of 2021, A$AP Rocky expressed his gratitude for Rihanna's support
at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of his documentary Stockholm Syndrome, which features
a cameo by the singer. "It's incredible, and I'm truly blessed, for real," he said.
The good deeds vs the red flags September of last year, A$AP Rocky attended
Rihanna's Clara Lionel Foundation's Diamond Ball, which was named after her grandparents.
In the Caribbean, the organization supports education initiatives as
well as natural disaster response programs. At the Volunteers Of America family residence,
the 33-year-old returned to his hometown of Harlem to serve food to the less fortunate than himself.
Rocky's real name is Rakim Mayers, and he was born in Harlem but moved to Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania, at the age of nine. He was spotted posing with fans behind
the buffet while assisting the organization, which helps homeless youth. He was able to
enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner of his own during his shift, putting together a plate and chowing down.
But what were his views of the Black lives matters movement?
A$AP Rocky made headlines in 2016 when he appeared to disassociate himself
from the Black Lives Matter movement in an interview with Power 105's Breakfast Club.
"I'm just gonna stay black and die," he said (via Time Out). "Why, because I'm
black? So every time something happens because I'm black I gotta stand up? What the f--k am I,
Al Sharpton now? I'm A$AP Rocky. I did not sign up to be no political activist."
"I don't wanna talk about no f-----g Ferguson and s--t because I don't live over there!"
he went on. "I live in f-----g Soho and Beverly Hills. I can't relate."
You’d think that this was enough red flag for Rihanna,
especially with all of the times she showed solidarity for the BLM movement!
Apparently not! The rapper was detained in Stockholm
in July 2019 on allegations of assaulting a man with his entourage. He was released in August
before being charged with assault and given a suspended sentence as well as a monetary fine.
“It was a little scary because I wasn’t familiar with that country,” Rocky said.
“Then, their rules are different. No bail system, none of that stuff. That shit was trash.”
Rocky laughed with the comedians about the prison's decor despite his expertise,
saying “For what it’s worth, though, the IKEA furniture was nice in there.”
Rocky previously discussed his detention in his latest documentary Stockholm Syndrome,
revealing that former US President Donald Trump's involvement "made it a little worse."
“In reality, I had no problem saying thank you to the man [Trump],
especially if he helped me,” Rocky said. “That’s the narrative they pushin’:
that he got me out. And he didn’t free me. If anything, he made it a little worse.”
Why doesn’t Rihanna see all of those red flags? Let us know your thoughts.
