In April of 2022, rumors quickly spread that the then-pregnant singer had split from her baby daddy, after catching him cheating with fashion designer Amina Muaddi.
But Amina denied any sort of foul play, calling the infidelity claim “fake gossip.”
She took to her Instagram stories to put an end to the speculation, writing: “We live in a society that is so quick to speak on topics regardless of factual basis.
“I’ve always believed that an unfounded lie spread on social media doesn’t deserve any response or clarification, especially one that is so vile,” she scathed.
The designer went on to explain how she assumed the “fake gossip” wouldn’t be taken seriously, but after a media frenzy, she felt she needed to address the allegations.
The shoe creator explained that she feels a “great amount of respect and affection” for the couple.
The couple has not personally addressed the rumors, however, sources close to the couple have 100% denied the claims.
FROM FRIENDS
Meanwhile, A$AP and Rihanna clearly have a “great amount of affection” for each other.
The two have gone from friends to lovers, to expecting parents twice over.
The couple’s friendship dates back to 2013 when A$AP opened Rihanna’s Diamonds World Tour for the US concerts.
Rihanna also starred in Rocky’s music video for his hit Fashion Killa in 2013, in which the pair got up close and personal.
But back then, Rocky was dating Chanel Iman, so rumors the pair were an item were quickly shut down.
TO LOVERS
By 2018, however, their relationship started to evolve.

The two were spotted sitting next to each other in the front row at a Louis Vuitton show during Paris Fashion Week, and later the Sundress singer was invited to RiRi’s annual Diamond Ball.
In 2020, after Rihanna split from Hassan Jameel, her boyfriend of three years, rumors that A$AP was spending time under her umbrella started to swirl.
After a year of speculation, A$AP confirmed he and the We Found Love singer were in a relationship.
Calling Rihanna “my lady,” A$AP opened up in an interview with GQ in May of 2021, describing her as “the love of [his] life.”
He said: “She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones. I think when you know, you know. She’s the one.”
The rapper added that his forthcoming record All Smiles was “absolutely influenced” by Rihanna.
BABY ON BOARD
In January 2022, the two confirmed they were expecting a baby together.
The Barbados-born singer, 33, revealed her baby bump in a series of images taken on an adorable maternity photoshoot with her partner.
Fans speculated she was pregnant in November of 2021 after she reportedly asked staff not to smoke around her when she attended Barbados’ first-ever presidential inauguration.
ANOTHER ROUND
The couple welcomed their first baby boy on May 13, 2022.
Rihanna and ASAP have only shared the baby’s name with close family members.
A source told Us Weekly: “They are keeping it a secret until they’re ready to share it with the world.”
The singer has confirmed she is expecting her second child, after surprising fans with her baby bump on stage at the Super Bowl halftime show.
A representative for the star confirmed the baby news shortly after the performance finished.
