In a rare, heartfelt interview today, ASAP Rocky revealed his deep commitment to being a hands-on father and how his perspective on parenting has shaped his life. The rapper, known for his boundary-pushing music and fashion, shocked fans with a surprising admission: he refuses to hire a nanny for his children.
“I won’t wait until I’m 35 to have kids and then hire someone else to look after them,” Rocky said, his voice resolute. “If I’m going to have kids, I’m going to be there for them. I want to be the one to take care of them. Every day, every week, every month of the year.”
Rocky, who shares two children with Rihanna, has always been a private person when it comes to his family life. However, his recent statements reveal just how deeply he values being present in the lives of his children. While many celebrities choose to hire full-time help, the rapper has made it clear that fatherhood is a full-time responsibility — one he plans to embrace without hesitation.
“If Rihanna gets too busy, I’ll drop everything. That’s just what it is,” he continued. “I don’t want to outsource fatherhood. I want to be with my kids — I want to experience everything with them.”
His decision to be so involved is rooted in his upbringing and the values he holds dear. Rocky has often spoken about the importance of family and how his own experiences growing up shaped his beliefs about what it means to be a father.
“It’s not just about the glamorous side of it. It’s about those small moments. The laughter, the bonding, the day-to-day things that make family so special,” he shared.
Despite his career and the demanding nature of being a global music icon, Rocky has made his family his top priority. When asked about Rihanna’s role in keeping the family together, his admiration for her was clear.
“Rihanna is amazing. People don’t see how much she does behind the scenes,” he said. “Every day, she’s juggling everything — her business, her music, her charitable work, and being an incredible mom. She’s always making sure we’re all on the same page, and that’s what keeps us grounded.”
Rocky went on to reveal that Rihanna’s commitment to family goes beyond just the basics. “She’s the one who keeps the routine in check. She makes sure the kids are always healthy, happy, and learning. She’s really the backbone of this family. Without her, I don’t know how we’d do it.”
While the couple’s parenting dynamic has been the subject of much speculation in the media, it’s clear that both Rocky and Rihanna prioritize their family above all else. They’ve managed to strike a balance between their high-profile careers and their personal lives, often keeping their children out of the spotlight.
“Our kids are our world,” Rocky concluded. “And no matter how busy life gets, that will always come first. I’m lucky to have a partner like Rihanna who understands that, too.”
As the world watches the rise of one of the most talked-about celebrity families, it’s evident that ASAP Rocky is determined to defy the norms and set a new standard for fatherhood. His devotion to his children and his decision to be actively involved in their lives, without relying on outside help, has earned him respect from fans and parents alike.
This unique approach to family life is a refreshing change in an industry where celebrities often keep their personal lives hidden behind layers of security and privacy. For ASAP Rocky, it’s clear that being a family man isn’t just about providing — it’s about being there, every single day.
