When it comes to being a designer, A$AP Rocky welcomes friendly competition from his partner Rihanna, CEO of Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty.
Appearing on Complex’s Sneaker Shopping, Rocky joked that he’s always “in competition” with Ri Ri are they are coming up with their cutting-edge designs.
Host Joe La Puma asked Rocky if he compares”notes” with Rihanna, with whom he also shares two children, RZA and Riot.
“Nah, we in competition,” Rocky laughed “No, I’m f**king with you. That’s my ace, like, every now and then we totally don’t even talk about what we’re doing. But Puma is just separate. When we in the house, we barely try to talk about work but every now and then I might see some sh*t she doing, and if it’s fire, I call up Puma and I’m tight about it. … But nah, it’s dope sh*t.”
Elsewhere during the interview, the Harlem rapper was asked if he was planning to preserve his sneakers to pass them to his kids when they grow up.
“I am, but I’m selfish. I’m just going to give them what was in my size. So like, hopefully, they fit that size. If they could fit it they can have it,” Rocky explained.
Proving that they are more beloved power couples, Fenty and Puma have partnered on several capsule collections featuring both of them
In a previous interview, Rocky lauded Rihanna for her many attributes.
“Birds of a feather flock together, “Rocky shared. “I’m gonna ride ’till wheels fall off like she do. That’s my dog, that’s my n***a, that’s my b*tch, that’s my wife, that’s my everything.”
Along with his work at Puma, Rocky was named Ray-Ban’s first-ever creative director in February.
“I’ve always admired Ray-Ban’s ability to stay true to its roots while constantly evolving,” Rocky said in a statement at the time. “I’m excited to be part of the strong heritage and develop the next chapter for an iconic brand like Ray-Ban.”
