2025 has been an exhilarating year for A$AP Rocky, marking his significant return to the cinematic world with roles in Spike Lee’s highly anticipated film, “Highest 2 Lowest” and the psychological drama “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.” To top it off, he’s been gearing up for the release of his fourth studio album while also collaborating creatively with Puma. However, amid all the bustling activities within the realms of film, music, and fashion, Rocky admits that his most treasured accomplishment is something outside of these worlds—his newborn daughter.
In a heartfelt moment during a recent interview with Complex, the 37-year-old rapper expressed his overwhelming joy, stating, “My daughter. That’s my favorite thing I created this year. Shout out to Rocki Irish, man.” Rocky and his longtime partner, Rihanna, joyously welcomed their third child together—a baby girl named Rocki Irish—on September 13. He emphasized that nothing in his professional life could possibly compete with the profound joy of fatherhood.
Rocky’s dedication to his family shines through in his words when he says, “I think we do a real great job at collaborating and making children.” Such a sentiment highlights not only his pride in fatherhood but also the partnership shared with Rihanna. As he reflected on their parenting journey, he quipped, “We had a third designer come in and help—a designer named God,” humorously attributing their family’s growth to a higher power. This lighthearted touch just adds to the warmth of his sentiments about their children, whom he refers to as “beautiful angels.”
Rocki will join her two older brothers, 3-year-old RZA and 2-year-old Riot Rose. This trio of siblings is already a vibrant testament to Rocky and Rihanna’s joyful collaboration in family life. The rapper, known for being vocal about his desires for fatherhood, had previously shared his hope for a daughter ahead of the birth announcement. “I hope it’s a girl. I really do,” he expressed to Elle. His anticipation was filled with optimism, stating that the pregnancy felt distinct from the previous ones, leading him to believe that their next addition would indeed be a girl.
With the arrival of Rocki, it appears that Rocky is embracing his new role as a “girl dad” with joy and enthusiasm. His perspective on fatherhood reveals a deep appreciation for family life, balancing a celebrated career in the public eye while focusing on the joy that comes from nurturing a loving home. This exciting chapter in his life has not only transformed his personal world but also added a rich layer to his identity as an artist and a family man.
