A$AP Rocky is facing criticism after a video surfaced in which he told fans at a concert in Arizona that he would have been “terrible” if he were single.
“Thank goodness you guys didn’t know me back when I was single because I would have messed you all up,” the rapper stated. The clip has circulated online.
This comment didn’t sit well with many on social media, who interpreted it as a slight against his girlfriend, Rihanna.
A fan remarked, “Rocky is nearly 40 and a father of three. He’s just embarrassing himself.”
Others responded with confusion, wondering why he didn’t opt for a more positive remark, like, “Everyone’s great,” instead of what they deemed the worst possible comment.
One user expressed their belief that he’s just a “cheating loser” influenced by a male-centric perspective, suggesting he wouldn’t change. Meanwhile, another pointed out that his comment might have been intended as a lead-in to his song “F-kin’ Problems,” which discusses his interests in relationships.
Rocky has been in a relationship with Rihanna since 2020, following months of speculation about their romance. They have three children together—sons RZA and Riot, along with daughter Rocki.
Recently, the rapper mentioned that his relationship with Rihanna was inspired by his mother, who encouraged him to pursue her. He recalled a conversation where she suggested he had feelings for his now-girlfriend, although he initially dismissed her comments.
