ASAP Rocky took a walk down memory lane when his eyes first fell on Rihanna, who is now the mother of his three children.
During Monday’s episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallonthe 37-year-old rapper recalled his first encounter with the Diamonds hitmakers, which took place in a New York City nightclub.
However, the situation at the time was quite “embarrassing” as he was pushed back by bouncers and hysterically said that Rihanna did nothing to help him.
“It was crazy. Ironically, we met outside a nightclub, here in New York. I wasn’t famous at the time. She was obviously Rihanna,” he told Jimmy.
Rocky went on to say, “And I couldn’t get in. The bouncers wouldn’t let me in, and I was with my friend, the late, great Virgil Abloh, and Matthew Williams,” he continued.
“You know, we were kind of going at it with the bouncers and she came out and we immediately looked at each other,” he recalls. “And I was just in a daze. And you know, I was a little embarrassed that she caught me bickering with the guard and stuff like that.”
This prompted Jimmy to ask Rocky, “Did she help you get in?”
He quickly replied, “No.”
For those unfamiliar, Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, has been dating Rihanna since 2020.
The couple recently welcomed their third child, their first daughter, named Rocki Irish Mayers, in September.
Rihanna and Rocky are also parents to sons RZA, three, and Riot, two.
