A$AP Rocky BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

A$AP Rocky has been everywhere this week for both music and family headlines. Fresh off the 2025 Met Gala, where he confirmed with the Associated Press that he and Rihanna are expecting their third child, Rocky soaked in the spotlight. At the Gala, he beamed about growing his family, telling press it “feels amazing, you know. It’s time that we show the people what we was cooking up. And I’m glad everybody’s happy for us ‘cause we definitely happy, you know.” Rihanna made her own entrance a few hours later in a bump-hugging designer gown, underscoring her status as maternity fashion’s queen. Entertainment Tonight noted Rihanna feels prepared for baby number three, thanks to A$AP’s support and their strong family balance.

Turning heads on the style circuit, Rocky and Rihanna were spotted on September 3 shopping for education supplies for their sons, RZA and Riot, in Los Angeles—a sweet domestic moment captured by paparazzi and celebrated in fashion circles. The duo also made waves at Paris Men's Fashion Week, front-row at Rocky’s AWGE show where little Riot Rose stole hearts in patchwork denim, giving social media another adorable meme moment. Their earlier outing together at Dior’s Homme spring show further reinforced their influencer power in fashion and pop culture.

On the work front, anticipation for Rocky’s next album Don't Be Dumb continues to build, though fans received notice this week via Rap-Up that the album has been postponed—again—now set for early 2025. He’s been teasing high-profile collaborations with Lil Yachty, Thundercat, Miguel, and frequent partner Tyler, The Creator. The album, produced by heavyweights such as Mike Dean, Madlib, Metro Boomin, and Pharrell, is being hotly awaited, with Rocky promising to “expect the unexpected.” While a few singles have dropped, the full project remains a mystery.

Meanwhile, drama is swirling around Rocky’s forthcoming trial for allegedly shooting A$AP Relli. Rolling Stone and the Guardian report the criminal trial is slated for January 21, 2025, with Rocky pleading not guilty to two counts of assault with a firearm. The legal cloud casts some uncertainty over Rocky’s year, but industry insiders are holding their breath to see if this turns into a pivotal turning point in his career.

And in a pop-culture move that has everyone talking, Rocky is starring alongside Denzel Washington in Spike Lee’s Highest 2 Lowest, a rap battle film getting major buzz. On Jimmy Kimmel Live, Washington gave Rocky big praise, calling him smart, handsome, and a “good dude”—even reminiscing about giving Rocky fatherly advice years ago. Spike Lee himself tipped that Rocky more than held his own acting opposite Washington, with the chemistry as rich as a father-son bond.

This week’s surge of headlines confirms that A$AP Rocky’s life is anything but dull—balancing blockbuster music, serious legal woes, a growing family, and A-list Hollywood moments. If the current news cycle is any measure, his next chapter is poised to be his most consequential yet.
