Finally, the prophecy foretold in the “Fashion Killa” video has come to pass. After a year and a half of coyly talking around rumors, ducking paparazzi and no doubt entering and exiting locations from different entrances, A$AP Rocky and Rihanna aren’t just leaving through the same door together—they’re fully gliding down New York City streets, putting their unfathomably stylish union on full blast. At long last, A$AP, indeed!
Rocky laid the foundation for the glorious PDA depicted in these new photos in his June GQ cover, where he went 0-100, ending 18 months of radio silence by straight up admitting Rih is “the love of his life,” later referring to her as “The One” and revealing that they went on a cross-country road trip together during the pandemic.
Rihanna, of course, has stayed mum—cynics teased that Rocky had simped himself onto the chopping block by talking a bit too publicly and effusively about a woman who has broken her own share of seemingly indestructible hearts. But this is Rihanna we’re talking about, and she knows it. Who can blame him! So here they are, going strong as ever, parading around Rocky’s native New York City streets in plain sight and looking positively drunk in love doing normal NYC couple stuff like falling into Barcade. But of course, they’re anything but normal, and if her fuzzy flop hat and his sleeveless sweater-leather pants combo is any indication, we are in for an incredible bout of runway-level paparazzi pics, and hopefully some sanctioned flicks of their own too. It’s going to be a hot summer!
