A$AP Rocky is opening up about his partner Rihanna‘s third pregnancy and how fatherhood has changed him.

“I think the evolution of who I am as a person, as an individual, as a dad, an musician, as far as being a parent at that time,” Rocky tells GQ about the highlights of fatherhood these past few years. “Just quite f–king interesting if you ask me, to see in front of everybody’s eyes how much I’ve been yearning to be a dad, and a loving dad. So, I got nothing but love to give to these little ones. And as you can see, that’s what occupies a lot of my heart capacity, is my family.”
A$AP Rocky was also asked if he learned anything with his first two kids that will influence parenting with the third.
“Well, I would say this experience and this pregnancy has been so different in comparison to the first two prior. So, nothing’s ever the same,” he dished. “Each experience is always just different in its own right. And it’s no different with this one.”
When talking about references for his upcoming album, he noted German Expressionism as heavy inspiration, and even named The Nightmare Before Christmas, Pee-wee’s Playhouse and more as movie inspirations. This lead to being asked if those were things he’s watched with his kids.
“Nah, man, my kids are still in the stage where they like childish, musical, kiddie kind of sounds. Remember, keep in mind, they’re only like three and two, so they don’t even understand stuff that I’m doing yet,” he says. “They didn’t really develop the understanding for it yet. Give it like a year or two, they’ll be up in my business. ‘Dad, what you doing?’ But right today, they’re kind of too young to understand that.”
A$AP and Rihanna are parents to two boys – RZA, 3, and Riot, 22 months – and seemingly revealed the sex of baby No 3 over the summer!
