Rihanna expressed her admiration for A$AP Rocky, urging him to take a bow. The "We Found Love" singer joined her longtime partner at a Saturday Night Live after-party in New York City following his debut appearance as the musical guest on the Jan. 17 episode of the NBC sketch comedy series.
To celebrate the occasion, Rihanna, 37, opted for a casual yet stylish look in a beige zip-up track jacket with navy accents, a black pencil skirt, and beige and black striped boots. She accessorized her outfit with a dark blue New York Yankees baseball hat and oversized sunglasses, layering a gold choker with a diamond necklace as she carried a blue handbag.
A$AP, who shares kids RZA, 3, and Riot, 2, and Rocky, 4 months, with RiRi, held hands with his leading lady. He sported his own fashion-forward ensemble consisting of an embroidered graphic jacket over a red V-neck sweater, blue jeans, and dark shades. He finished off his look with several large rings and a statement buckle belt.
Earlier in the evening, the rapper (real name Rakim Mayers) hit the stage at Studio 8H for the Finn Wolfhard-hosted SNL episode, performing songs off his new album Don’t Be Dumb, including “Punk Rocky” as well as a medley of the title track and “Helicopter.” He also appeared as himself in a sketch alongside the Stranger Things star and surprise guest Sabrina Carpenter, who played teenage boys on a podcast about snacks.
As A$AP’s career continues to thrive, his home life with Rihanna also appears to be doing better than ever. In fact, he recently credited his mom Renee Black for insisting that he pursue the Fenty Beauty founder despite being taken at the time. "My mother used to say things like, 'I know you like this girl that you're with right now,'” he explained during an appearance on the Jan. 15 episode of Popcast without mentioning the woman in question. “But I want you with RiRi.” While the hip-hop star initially resisted the suggestion, his mom persisted—and her dedication clearly paid off, as A$AP noted, “Mothers know best.”
