It\u2019s not what you think. This isn\u2019t about him and his famous partner. He isn\u2019t judging anyone\u2019s consensual lifestyle either. He just can\u2019t tell what\u2019s genuine these days. \u201cIt\u2019s not for everybody,\u201d he says. \u201cHalf these guys are just doing it for the camera, the look, the facade. But they go home lonely. No companionship. Nobody to let your stress out and vent to. Nobody to lift you up when you\u2019re down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"2\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">But then he mentions two entertainers, Ne-Yo and DeRay Davis, who\u2019ve both been open about having multiple girlfriends. \u201cI see them, and I\u2019m like, Oh, salute. That must be fun,\u201d Rocky says, then pauses, dropping his tone. He speaks from behind blacked-out Ray-Ban sunglasses, with a distinct croak in his voice. \u201cBut I know that that is a lot of work, bro. I say to myself, Yo, that shit looks amazing, but is it easy?\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">A few years ago, pre-Rih, when the Harlem native with the charming gold-toothed smile was still in his rock star phase, having the wildest of nights, this conversation might have gone differently. Now Rocky is a blissfully committed father of two with a third on the way, a rapper, actor, and fashion icon, wondering if the men living the life he once did are happy. He used to enjoy being a playboy\u2014he says he thought you had to be like that \u201cto consider yourself a rock star\u201d\u2014but \u201cThere\u2019s no longevity in that,\u201d he\u2019s learned. \u201cWhat\u2019s really fly is raising a family, bro, and loving them. Being there.\u201d<\/p>\n<div data-embed=\"composite\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-13\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"embed css-0 e17cny3g2\">\n<div class=\"css-1m3priu e17cny3g0\">\n<div class=\"size-large css-103j9yb e17cny3g1\">\n<div size=\"large\" data-embed=\"body-image\" class=\"align-center size-large embed css-4aolxf e1fodxfw4\">\n<div class=\"css-uwraif e1fodxfw3\"><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"asap rocky\" title=\"asap rocky\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"3300\" height=\"4400\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/elm100125wlaaprocky-002-68caff061b6d0.jpg?resize=640:* 640w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/elm100125wlaaprocky-002-68caff061b6d0.jpg?resize=980:* 980w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/elm100125wlaaprocky-002-68caff061b6d0.jpg?resize=2048:* 1120w\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/elm100125wlaaprocky-002-68caff061b6d0.jpg?resize=2048:*\" class=\"css-0 e1g79fud0\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"css-1gccgwy e1fodxfw2\"><span data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-creditor\" class=\"css-biwqk8 e1geg53v2\">Justin French<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Coat, blazer, sweater, pants, belt bag, Ferragamo.

Rocky is winding down from a morning of press for his role as a villainous young rapper in Highest 2 Lowest, the Spike Lee-directed crime thriller starring Denzel Washington. Seated in a burned-honey-toned leather chair across from me, Rocky looks like your favorite rich uncle in the middle of story time, dressed head-to-toe in Celine: a tweed blazer over a white logo tee, dark denim, and patent leather dress shoes. The streetwear flash of his earlier days has expanded to include a more refined, dandy style he\u2019s been calling his \u201cquiet luxury\u201d era. What started as a discussion of hip-hop in the Reagan era (\u201cOur parents are living, walking trauma,\u201d Rocky says) naturally led us to the topic of love.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">More than ever, Rocky knows how lucky he is to be here, doing what he enjoys. Earlier this year, he faced up to 24 years in prison after a former friend and member of the rap crew A$AP Mob accused Rocky of firing a gun during a fight back in 2021. He was acquitted in February after a high-profile trial that drew as much attention for his Saint Laurent suits as for the verdict. \u201cI knew I was innocent,\u201d Rocky says. \u201cI ain\u2019t no fucking gangster. I\u2019m a pretty boy. I wear that like a badge of honor.\u201d As for his trial fashion, he says, \u201cI didn\u2019t want to look too formal or tacky. If somebody asks you to come to court, regardless of what the affair is for, you better show up with some integrity, and that\u2019s all I did. I got dressed.\u201d<\/p>\n<div size=\"medium\" data-embed=\"body-image\" class=\"align-center size-medium embed css-y6m8k e1fodxfw4\">\n<div class=\"css-uwraif e1fodxfw3\"><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"asap rocky\" title=\"asap rocky\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2447\" height=\"3263\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/elm100125cover-digital-asap-68cb001edd761.jpg?resize=640:* 640w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/elm100125cover-digital-asap-68cb001edd761.jpg?resize=768:* 980w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/elm100125cover-digital-asap-68cb001edd761.jpg?resize=980:* 1120w\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/elm100125cover-digital-asap-68cb001edd761.jpg?resize=980:*\" class=\"css-0 e1g79fud0\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"css-swqnqv e1fodxfw2\"><span data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-creditor\" class=\"css-biwqk8 e1geg53v2\">Justin French<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Coat, shirt, tie, Dior.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"10\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Almost as soon as the trial ended, the floodgates opened. Within just a few months, Rocky took on a role as creative director at Ray-Ban, headlined the Rolling Loud festival, and cochaired the Met Gala, where Rihanna revealed her latest pregnancy. He also focused on new projects, including a jazz-inspired fall Puma collaboration (he\u2019s a creative director for that brand, too) and two A24 films: Highest 2 Lowest and If I Had Legs I\u2019d Kick You, a trippy fever-dream drama about motherhood, in theaters this October. Oh, and a week before we met, he helped close out Lollapalooza, hovering above the stage in a helicopter, rocking pink hair rollers.<\/p>\n<p><span aria-hidden=\"true\" data-theme-key=\"title-design-element-before\" class=\"css-0 eagam8p0\"\/>\u201cI knew I was innocent. I ain\u2019t no fucking gangster. I\u2019m a pretty boy.

He wants to be his generation\u2019s blueprint for the modern Renaissance man (\u201cLike, if Miles Davis was still alive and he was a rapper,\u201d he explains). But with it, some of his dreams get deferred. Lately, for Rocky, it\u2019s his music. He\u2019s still planning to release his elusive fourth studio album, Don\u2019t Be Dumb, but it remains an infinite mystery to fans. \u201cI don\u2019t want to primarily blame it on my case, but life was lifeing,\u201d he says of the album\u2019s delay. \u201cWe don\u2019t plan on having children, but when it happens, you gotta adjust and move with it. I gotta be present for my family, because that\u2019s first.\u201d<\/p>\n<div size=\"medium\" data-embed=\"body-image\" class=\"align-center size-medium embed css-y6m8k e1fodxfw4\">\n<div class=\"css-uwraif e1fodxfw3\"><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"asap rocky\" title=\"asap rocky\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"3300\" height=\"4399\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/elm100125wlaaprocky-010-68cb00ba17f65.jpg?resize=640:* 640w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/elm100125wlaaprocky-010-68cb00ba17f65.jpg?resize=768:* 980w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/elm100125wlaaprocky-010-68cb00ba17f65.jpg?resize=980:* 1120w\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/elm100125wlaaprocky-010-68cb00ba17f65.jpg?resize=980:*\" class=\"css-0 e1g79fud0\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"css-swqnqv e1fodxfw2\"><span data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-creditor\" class=\"css-biwqk8 e1geg53v2\">Justin French<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Jacket, shirt, shorts, hat, socks, shoes, bags, Louis Vuitton.

Spike Lee\u2014whose wife, Tanya Lewis Lee, produced the latter movie\u2014recalls hugging Rocky at an L.A. screening of Highest 2 Lowest and telling him, \u201cYour next film, please don\u2019t play a rapper. I don\u2019t want you to get pigeonholed.\u201d Lee tells me that Rocky \u201chas this aura, and he\u2019s dynamic. He\u2019s an actor who raps.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"16\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Rocky plans on stretching his acting range. But diving into roles can be all-consuming. \u201cI don\u2019t fuck around,\u201d he says. \u201cI can\u2019t be making music decisions and being on tour. I have to be in one place. I have to embody this character. I can\u2019t give 100 percent on everything if I\u2019m being pulled in different directions. And unfortunately, you gotta sacrifice certain things to follow your calling. These films don\u2019t pay you a trillion dollars. This is more so my destiny.

The film explores motherhood as a profoundly terrifying, mind-altering experience. Rocky\u2019s character, James, a motel super, becomes an outlet for Linda\u2019s emotional unraveling. His main critique, if you will, is that he wishes the costume department had changed up his look (maybe had him wearing locs, he suggests), so that audiences wouldn\u2019t see A$AP Rocky onscreen. (\u201cI\u2019m just self-conscious about that,\u201d he adds.) While filming in Montauk, Long Island, Byrne says Rocky would toss out ideas like having their characters sip on \u201csome crazy drink.\u201d (It was lean, Rocky says.)<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"19\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">\u201cHe has a natural curiosity about him and a great amount of respect for the work, and he\u2019s innately creative. My scenes with him are hard, because I had to be extremely mean,\u201d Byrne says with a laugh. \u201cI think his character is the hardest to play, because he\u2019s genuine and empathic to the others. It was like a fun dance we had back and forth. He\u2019d come up with extraordinarily creative insults to call me. But he says it, and then he smiles. And you\u2019re like, I guess you can get away with this. It\u2019s like a supernatural charm.\u201d He does have a way about him.<\/p>\n<div size=\"medium\" data-embed=\"body-image\" class=\"align-center size-medium embed css-y6m8k e1fodxfw4\">\n<div class=\"css-uwraif e1fodxfw3\"><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"asap rocky\" title=\"asap rocky\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"3300\" height=\"4400\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/elm100125wlaaprocky-016-68cb01762c30c.jpg?resize=640:* 640w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/elm100125wlaaprocky-016-68cb01762c30c.jpg?resize=768:* 980w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/elm100125wlaaprocky-016-68cb01762c30c.jpg?resize=980:* 1120w\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/elm100125wlaaprocky-016-68cb01762c30c.jpg?resize=980:*\" class=\"css-0 e1g79fud0\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"css-swqnqv e1fodxfw2\"><span data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-creditor\" class=\"css-biwqk8 e1geg53v2\">Justin French<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Jacket, boots, Loewe.

I might get killed for this,\u201d he says, \u201cbut I put therapists in the same box as psychic readings.\u201d This part of the conversation feels like a land mine. His point is that he finds it hard to trust a therapist\u2019s ability to connect with him. \u201cI look at it like, Yo, if you don\u2019t share the same experiences,\u201d he says, \u201cwhat\u2019s the point of me telling a stranger my business for an hour straight, for them to just say, \u2018Okay, well, how did that make you feel?\u2019\u2009\u201d When I reason that there\u2019s been a push for more Black therapists in the field, he smiles and remarks, mischievously, \u201cI think Jay-Z is a Black therapist.\u201d Of course, music is therapy, and rappers help listeners process emotions. Metaphorically speaking, Rocky argues, \u201cA lot of people come to him with their problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"22\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Anyone familiar with Harlem knows Rocky\u2019s smooth talking comes partly from his upbringing in a cultural capital that might actually be the birthplace of rizz. The rapper, born Rakim Mayers, grew up in the neighborhood with his mother and sister, first on 116th Street and Morningside Avenue, moving in and out of shelters, occasionally visiting his father in Pennsylvania. By 22, he\u2019d established himself as the young, swaggering phenom from the A$AP Mob crew whose breakout 2011 hit \u201cPeso\u201d and subsequent mixtape, Live.Love.A$AP, revitalized New York rap, and whose effortless high-low style helped formally bond streetwear to high fashion. \u201cYou\u2019d never see a T-shirt with a fucking Celine logo on it 10, 15 years ago. That was beyond them. They didn\u2019t do T-shirts,\u201d Rocky says. \u201cThey didn\u2019t do men\u2019s clothes back then, but there\u2019s a need for it, there\u2019s an ask for it because of the demographics, the trends we\u2019re setting.\u201d <\/p>\n<div size=\"large\" data-embed=\"body-image\" class=\"align-center size-large embed css-uhpotl e1fodxfw4\">\n<div class=\"css-uwraif e1fodxfw3\"><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"asap rocky\" title=\"asap rocky\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"3300\" height=\"2475\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/elm100125wlaaprocky-013-68cb01c695963.jpg?resize=640:* 640w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/elm100125wlaaprocky-013-68cb01c695963.jpg?resize=980:* 980w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/elm100125wlaaprocky-013-68cb01c695963.jpg?resize=2048:* 1120w\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/elm100125wlaaprocky-013-68cb01c695963.jpg?resize=2048:*\" class=\"css-0 e1g79fud0\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"css-1gccgwy e1fodxfw2\"><span data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-creditor\" class=\"css-biwqk8 e1geg53v2\">Justin French<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Robe, shirt, trousers, shoes, Prada.

Maybe the confidence and pizzazz and swag. I look really great in clothes, you know. I think so, at least. And I show other people, \u2018This is how you should do it.\u2019\u201d He stops himself. \u201cI hope I don\u2019t come across as, like, one of those guys who are cool and inspirational, but too much on their own fucking\u2026you know.\u201d <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"25\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Still, the average pop culture fan today might recognize Rocky more as a stylish dad and partner to a pop star and beauty mogul. Their relationship dates back to at least 2013, when Rihanna appeared in the music video for Rocky\u2019s single \u201cFashion Killa.\u201d A star couple was born that day, though they didn\u2019t realize it at the time. Or, as Rocky tells it, they actually did\u2014you know, cosmically. Fans noticed the chemistry, too. Some noticed it even earlier when they appeared together at the 2012 MTV Music Awards. \u201cPeople already, in their minds, were like, \u2018I want them together.\u2019 And that\u2019s why it\u2019s not so off-brand for them.

What she does is what she does, and what I do is what I do. But when we collab, that\u2019s fun because I get to be creative with her. She\u2019s so trusting of me,\u201d Rocky says, now sipping a latte in the hotel suite. He starred in a campaign for Rihanna\u2019s Fenty Skin Lux Balm; she showed up to support his Puma x F1 capsule launch pop-up at an abandoned gas station in Las Vegas. Naturally, brands love that Rocky is willing to execute an unconventional idea, many of which he pitches. \u201cHe\u2019s not someone who shows up like, \u2018What are we going to do?\u2019 He does a lot of homework,\u201d says Puma\u2019s chief product officer, Maria Valdes. \u201cHe\u2019s very like a nerd, very into it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"28\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">As a couple, he and Rih leave work at the door. \u201cWe don\u2019t talk too much about work, because we deal with that all day, every day,\u201d he says. \u201cWhen you come home, it\u2019s about family. It\u2019s about your relationship. It\u2019s about your household. It ain\u2019t about all that other shit.\u201d When I ask if he\u2019s looking forward to being a husband, he quips, \u201cHow you know I\u2019m not already a husband?\u201d He clarifies, with a laugh, \u201cI\u2019m still not gonna confirm it.\u201d <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"29\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The pair welcomed their first child, RZA Athelston Mayers, in May 2022, and had their second son, Riot Rose Mayers, in August 2023. This time, he\u2019s manifesting a baby girl. \u201cI hope it\u2019s a girl. I really do. We\u2019re praying for a girl,\u201d he says. \u201cOur first time, we wanted to know the sex of the baby. The second time, we didn\u2019t want to know. Third time, we don\u2019t want to know until, you know.\u201d He trails off. \u201cI feel like it\u2019s going to be a girl. This pregnancy is so different from the other two. You can tell from the experience. I hope it\u2019s a baby girl, man.

Your fans might want to kick your ass as much as my fans wanna kick my ass.

He acknowledges, \u201cIt\u2019s just too long for me. It\u2019s been so long,\u201d sounding exasperated with himself. He\u2019s cited leaks, industry politics, and, of course, the trial as reasons for the holdup. His core fans might wonder if the artist nicknamed Pretty Flacko is still invested in hip-hop. When I ask him this, he sounds mildly outraged. \u201cYeah!\u201d he replies, matter-of-factly. \u201cIt\u2019s my career,\u201d he says. \u201cDo I depend on that to get my money? No. And that\u2019s what people should appreciate about me. That\u2019s not my cash cow. I treat it with way more spirituality.

He believes his perfectionism is taken as a lack of confidence in his music. \u201cThe content needs to come from a place of reality. I don\u2019t want to fabricate. I became the guy that I became because I was a ladies\u2019 man. All right, where I\u2019m at now?\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019m in acting mode right now.

Drake responded to Rocky again on \u201cFamily Matters,\u201d a diss track aimed at Kendrick Lamar. (It\u2019s like a Days of Our Lives storyline.) Though Rocky abstained from the escalating beef, he was just as entertained as the rest of us. \u201cIt was healthy for hip-hop,\u201d he says. \u201cThe battle was between Kendrick and Drake, not Drake and everybody else who might have said something at that time, and that\u2019s mainly why I fell back. I just hate the way it\u2019s turning out with [Drake] suing and all that. What part of the game is that? What type of shit is that? That\u2019s none of my business, I guess.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"38\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">There\u2019s still the matter of whether A$AP Mob is still a crew, given that Rocky\u2019s trial involved a former member accusing him. Rocky confirms they haven\u2019t broken up. He considers some of them brothers, but they are in the process of repairing wounds. \u201cI ain\u2019t bullshitting.

He feels unappreciated. \u201cI played a father figure for a lot of these guys despite us being close in age. It\u2019s different when people are sleeping on your floor, your couch, your bed. When you\u2019ve got 13 people living in a one-bedroom apartment, and you just got money\u2014especially when you don\u2019t have to. So I look at it as my children just being rebellious.\u201d Ultimately, he\u2019s okay with letting some friendships go. \u201cI\u2019m not trying to paint myself out to be a victim,\u201d he says. \u201cI really do sleep well at night, because I know I\u2019m not trying to do anybody dirty.

He can\u2019t remember if it was before or after the Highest 2 Lowest premiere at Cannes, but sometime in May, he had a happy cry in the French Riviera. He remembers thinking, alone in a hotel room, Yes, bro, you are lucky. You are blessed. \u201cNo lie. This is crazy. This is no joke.
