Happy Birthday ASAP Rocky: His Relationship Timeline with Rihanna

Rapper, recording artist, and label executive Rakim Athelaston Mayers is better known by his stage name ASAP Rocky. He began his musical journey as a student of the hip-hop group ASAP Mob, from whom he took his stage name. He was born and brought up in Harlem. ASAP is turning, 34 years this on birthday day, October 3, 1988. His relationship with Rihanna is something we all look up to. So here’s a little timeline about his relationship with the queen of pop.

ASAP Rocky is aware of how well-suited he and Rihanna in the relationship. The 33-year-old rapper talked about his connection with the Love on the Brain vocalist in a subsequent interview with Dazed, noting that their complementary styles come so easily to them.

This is what he said when he was asked about it, “I think it’s just natural. We happen to look good together naturally. You know, it would take a lot of work to have us forcefully match before we leave the house…Sometimes we match to a T, or we just wear the same clothes. If I buy a shirt that she likes, I expect to get it stolen… but then I gotta steal it back.”
