ASAP Rocky Shares How Rihanna Supported Him

ASAP Rocky opens up about Rihanna’s unwavering support during his toughest times. Their bond shines as he recalls heartfelt moments of friendship.

ASAP Rocky’s recent appearance on The Jason Lee Show has sparked interest ahead of its full release later this week. In a teaser clip circulating the internet, the Harlem rapper delves into his relationship with Rihanna, shedding light on her steadfast presence through challenging times in his life.

During the interview, which will be fully available on Wednesday, August 5, Rocky expressed profound admiration for Rihanna, stating, “She really is a strong Black woman, and she held me down when I was at my lowest.” He reminisced about several pivotal moments when Rihanna was there for him, whether as close companions or romantic partners.

Rocky recounted troubling incidents, such as his arrest in Sweden, during which Rihanna provided support. “When I got locked up Sweden, she was there for me,” he recalled, emphasizing the importance of her presence during those tough moments. He further elaborated, “Every time I’m at my lowest and darkest place, [whether] we’re friends platonically or we’re in a couple relationship, she’s always fucking there for me.”

A particularly poignant memory involved his father’s passing in late 2012, which coincided with the release of his debut album, Live. Love. ASAP. He reminisced about how, on the eve of achieving his first number-one album, he was overwhelmed with grief. “I was on my bathroom floor in Paris, crying. She called me for some reason, to congratulate me. We both in Paris. I didn’t know she was in Paris, she didn’t know I was in Paris. And I told her, ‘I’m down.’

He appreciated Rihanna’s swift actions, saying, “Bro, shorty rushed to my… I don’t even know how Rihanna got the key to my [hotel] room. I stopped answering my phone, all that shit. She walked right in: ‘Yo, you good?’ Talked to me, all this other shit. That really was my friend.” This encapsulating moment underscores the strong bond they share, demonstrating the depth of their friendship amidst both personal and professional challenges.

Following the teaser, Rocky’s remarks have attracted notable attention, especially given his willingness to speak openly about the relationship and the support he’s received. The conversation on The Jason Lee Show promises to unveil more insights into their dynamic.

In a separate highlight, Rihanna recently made headlines herself by encouraging a fan battling cancer during a grocery store encounter, showing her commitment to uplifting others.

This continued display of genuine friendship and support from both artists offers fans a glimpse into the personal lives of these high-profile stars, reminding them that even amidst fame, friendship and support are paramount.
