A$AP Rocky is opening up about fatherhood as he prepares to welcome his third child with Rihanna.
In a new interview with GQ, the 36-year-old rapper shared how this pregnancy feels different compared to their first two.
“Well, I would say this experience and this pregnancy has been so different in comparison to the first two prior,” he explained.

Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Meyers, was also asked about standout moments in his parenting journey so far. He pointed to how fatherhood has reshaped every part of his life.
“I think the evolution of who I am as a person, as an individual, as a dad, an artist, as far as being a parent at that time. Just quite f—— 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,” he said.
He added that his children remain at the center of his world.
“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 father,” he noted.
Rocky and Rihanna are already parents to sons Riot, 2, and RZA, 3.
Elsewhere in the interview, the proud dad joked about possible baby names, revealing that he and Rihanna may be taking inspiration from one of his Highest 2 Lowest co-stars.
“Denzel, no matter what,” he teased, adding that even if they have a daughter, “The first female come out named Denzel, it’s lit. We got it figured out.”
While Rocky has been reflecting on fatherhood, Rihanna recently celebrated a milestone of her own.

She went on to thank her devoted fans, saying, “So many of you were a part of my life and career since the very beginning, and some of you have joined the adventure along the way.”
Calling her supporters “die-hard,” Rihanna admitted she is forever grateful for their role in her success.
