A$AP Rocky has recently shared a fun tidbit about his son, RZA Athelston Mayers, revealing that he inherited Rihanna’s distinctive “big forehead.” In an interview with W Magazine before the launch of his Don’t Be Dumb album, the rapper discussed the changes in his life since becoming a father, juggling parenthood with his music career, and how each of his children takes after him and Rihanna. The couple’s first child, RZA, was born in 2022, followed by their second son, Riot, a year later.
Describing his sons’ personalities, A$AP Rocky noted that RZA is more of an introvert like himself, while Riot takes after his outgoing mother. Despite this, the proud father pointed out the one physical trait RZA shares with Rihanna, saying, “He got his mom’s forehead. I love my boy’s big forehead! I loved it on his mother.”
Interestingly, Rihanna had previously mentioned RZA’s inherited forehead size during an interview in December 2023 at a Savage x Fenty event. The pop star revealed her surprise that only one of her sons had obtained her distinctive feature, jokingly questioning the absence of the trait in Riot.
Reflecting on his journey into fatherhood, A$AP Rocky expressed how quickly he had adapted to the role, especially with the close succession of his two sons’ births. Despite the challenges, he finds being a father to RZA and Riot to be a profound blessing that has positively influenced all aspects of his life. Embracing the humorous side of parenting, the rapper shared, “I’m such a dad, it’s hilarious. I haven’t been to the gym in weeks. I come home, and my kids are already in bed, asleep… But the sacrifices we make to create something substantial.”
As the rapper continues to navigate his evolving family life, fans are delighted to catch glimpses of his paternal journey and the endearing connections between him, Rihanna, and their sons.
