Rihanna opened up about the origins of her relationship with A$AP Rocky, with whom she now has two children, in a new interview on Tuesday, telling Interview, that, despite first being introduced to the rapper in 2012, it wasn’t until 2019 that they started “dating with a lot of caution.”
Rihanna and Rocky first became truly acquainted, she said, at the VMAs in 2012, when he grabbed her behind.
“He grabbed my ass!” she said. “That was the day that we thought we met. At rehearsal, so it was, like, manager to manager, client to client... My team was worried that I wanted to have his head on a fucking mantle,” she added. “But I was like,‘Ah, nah.’ That’s why everybody was like, ‘Oh my god. She likes him.’”
