A$AP Rocky says being a girl dad to baby daughter Rocki made him ‘ultra gentle’
For the latest episode of BET Networks’ “The Jason Lee Show,” A$AP Rocky sat down with his longtime friend Jason Lee to speak about how his and Rihanna’s baby daughter, Rocki, made him “ultra gentle.” Towards the end of the interview, Lee asked the rapper how he loved all of his kids “differently, but not more than the other.”
The “Fashion Killa” artist said, “RZA was my first, so by the time Riot was born, I already had to learn how to — not learn, but I naturally just love both of them equally, right? The thing was it was like big brother, little brother.” He continued, “By the time Rocki came, it was like, ‘Oh snap, this is different because this is a girl, so you got to handle them a little bit differently.’”
A$AP Rocky then revealed, “I’m really sensitive with my kids and really gentle with them, but like with her, I was ultra, ultra gentle.” He then jokingly noted, “She turned out being the toughest, more than her brothers. She’ll like grab your nose, squeeze it, [and] she takes my braids, yanks it. I’ll be like, ‘Damn, girl. Why you beating up Daddy for?’”
Elaborating on his relationship with his children, the rapper clarified that he does not have any favorites. “I’m a present dad. I don’t favoritize any of them,” he said. “They all have such different personalities that you love each of them for what it’s worth.”
Elsewhere in the interview, A$AP Rocky also mentioned that he and Rihanna have a lot of help from their mothers and nannies to raise their kids.
