    How my mother convinced me to date Rihanna – A$AP Rocky

    American rapper A$AP Rocky has revealed that his mom had always wanted him to be with global singer Rihanna.

    In an interview with The New York Times, he shared that his mom would often advise him to end his past relationships and pursue Rihanna instead.

    According to Rocky, his mom would insist Rihanna was the right one for him, even when he considered Rihanna just a friend.

    “Rihanna has always been my boo. I always f*cked with her. My mother used to say, ‘I know you like this girl that you are with right now, but I want you with Riri.’

    “And I would tell her that Rihanna is just a friend. But my mother would insist that Rihanna is a real one and that I should go for her. I’m telling you, mothers know best”, he said.

    He expressed gratitude that their relationship started when it did, as he wasn’t ready for commitment earlier, and Rihanna wasn’t ready for family life either.

    “However, I am thankful that my relationship with Rihanna started when it did. Because at any time prior to that, I don’t think I was ready for something like that. I don’t think she was, either,” he added.

    The rapper and Rihanna began their romance, and they now have three children together.

    A$AP Rocky found not guilty in felony assault trial

    A Los Angeles jury has acquitted rapper A$AP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, of felony assault charges related to a 2021 shooting incident in Hollywood. 

    Mayers was accused of firing a semi-automatic weapon at his former friend, Terell Ephron, during an altercation.

    Prosecutors argued that he intentionally shot at Ephron, grazing his hand, while the defense maintained that Mayers had only been carrying a prop gun. 

    During the trial, Mayers’ attorney, Joe Tacopina, challenged Ephron’s credibility, pointing out inconsistencies in his testimony.

    After three hours of deliberation, the jury ruled in Mayers’ favour, delivering a not-guilty verdict. 

    The decision spares Mayers from a potential prison sentence of over 24 years.

    He was arrested in 2022 and had faced intense scrutiny throughout the case.
