Rihanna made a public show of support for A$AP Rocky at his Los Angeles concert on June 28, 2026, bringing their two-year-old son Riot Rose to the show. The appearance came after Rocky faced backlash for comments deemed 'disrespectful' toward women during a performance in Phoenix, Arizona.
Backlash Over Rocky's Comments
During a recent concert in Phoenix, A$AP Rocky, 37, told women near the front of the stage: 'Thank God y’all didn’t know me when I was single, ’cause I would’ve f***** the sh** out of you.' The remark sparked criticism from fans, who felt it was specifically disrespectful to his long-term partner, Rihanna, 38. The couple, who have been together since 2021, share three children: Rza, four, Riot, two, and Rocki, nine months.
Rihanna was photographed looking downcast in a car the day after Rocky's Phoenix show, fueling speculation of tension between the pair. However, the singer's attendance at the Los Angeles gig signaled unity.
Concert Moment with Riot Rose
At the LA concert, Rocky spotted Rihanna and Riot Rose in the crowd and addressed his son through the microphone. 'Riot Rose, hey son. Hey, buddy. Daddy loves you, son,' he said. The toddler, wearing large ear defenders, smiled as Rihanna pointed toward the stage. The moment was captured on video and shared on social media.
The couple has largely kept their children out of the spotlight, though they occasionally share snippets with fans. They have not publicly confirmed whether they are married, despite five years together. In a previous interview, Rocky hinted that he might 'already' be wed.
Recent Shooting Incident
The family recently endured a frightening incident when shots were fired at their Los Angeles mansion. A 35-year-old woman from Orlando, Florida, was charged with attempted murder after allegedly firing 'at least 10 shots' at the property using a semiautomatic rifle, according to police reports obtained by the Daily Mail.
Rihanna told police she was inside an Airstream trailer on the grounds when she heard '10 loud bangs on metal.' She reportedly grabbed Rocky out of bed, told him they were being shot at, and pushed both of them to the ground. The couple then scrambled to safety, running into the garage to secure their children and staff. No one was injured, but Rihanna was said to be shaken by the incident.
