A$AP Rocky loves watching his kids grow up to be just like their parents.
While speaking to W Magazine for their cover story published Tuesday, Oct. 8, the rapper, 35, opened up about raising his two sons — RZA, 2, and Riot Rose, 14 months — with his longtime partner Rihanna, 36. Rocky revealed that their older son is his “twin,” while their baby boy is “just like his mom.”
“I think RZA is going to keep to himself. He’s an introvert,” the proud dad told the outlet. “Riot’s an extrovert — he’s just like his mom,”
He continued, “RZA is more so like his dad, like me. And he’s my twin.”

Although RZA is Rocky’s look-alike, “He got his mom’s forehead.” He added, “I love my boy’s big forehead! I loved it on his mother.”
“But he got everything else from me,” he said.
The dad of two also told the outlet that Riot and RZA already have a bond of their own, sharing, “Riot looks up to RZA. I think RZA’s warming up to Riot.”

Asked when he knew he wanted Rihanna to be the mother of his children, Rocky said the two knew from a young age that it was “right.”
“I knew from when we were younger. We both did, I think,” he shared. “So it was only right when we got older. We just kind of reconnected.” The couple has been together since 2020.
In August, Rocky pushed back at the idea that his kids wouldn’t be able to live the same childhood he did. Born Rakim Mayers, the rapper spent his childhood years in Harlem, and he returned to his neighborhood in videos shared on Billboard‘s TikTok.
“Yes they do,” Rocky said of his kids leading a normal childhood despite having famous parents. “Man, let me show you little RZA last night, bro. Look, this is my little man right here.”
The rapper then pulled up a video of his elder son, RZA, walking and playing along a street in SoHo. “They still human. They human beings,” he added.
“This is him last night,” Rocky said. He jokingly added, “He’s walking to the corner store.”
