This is not a criticism that could be easily leveled at Rocky. Although he has insisted he does not want to become a fashion designer, he has nonetheless embarked on a number of high-profile collaborations. This is something he has done from the get-go, and it has paid dividends.

Having dropped the names of designers Rick Owens and Raf Simons into the lyrics of his breakthrough single, "Peso," back in , he went on to become friends with both. In he was announced as the face of Dior Homme; in he collaborated with Guess Jeans.

Though today hip-hop is a post-regional genre, at the time Rocky was a radical and controversial artist for the way, under Yams's guidance, he mixed sounds and styles from New York and down south. Atlanta and Houston were hot.

New York's hip-hop scene was tepid. Rakim Mayers set things on fire. Even when he's in L. He has a Ferrari and two Mercedes, but he prefers walking, taking Ubers, and riding an e-bike. He spins around his neighborhood to relax, to clear his mind, to see what people are wearing. In NYC, all he has to do to see what styles are popping in the streets is step outside; in L.

Rocky's lockdown year was spent seeking out something even more important: himself. New-world shit. His dream blunt rotation? It's over. Change, Rocky is saying, is good. In his love life, though, the change Rocky has experienced is drastic. It's change in the same way that a Mega Millions lottery winner experiences change. Rocky knows he probably shouldn't talk about Rihanna, the triple-A-list pop star, wildly successful fashion and beauty entrepreneur, and Category 5 cultural hurricane, but he can't help himself.

As soon as I bring her up, he starts beaming like a teenager whose crush just accepted his prom invite. I could practically hear the angels singing. The exact timeline of their relationship is uncertain, and Rocky won't divulge many details.

Rumors about their status began circulating as early as , when Rocky opened for Rihanna's Diamonds World Tour. You can see why the global pop culture apparatus and the duo's combined hundred million fans—most of them hers, to be fair—have been attempting to speak their union into existence. They're both insanely hot. They've both got culture-shifting side hustles. They're both fashion oracles. Their coupling feels predestined.

She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones. She's the One. Around Christmas last year, Rocky was photographed with Rihanna in Barbados, where Rocky—whose father emigrated from Barbados to the U.

I always imagined what it would be like for my dad, before he came to America. And I got to visit those places, and believe it or not, there was something nostalgic about it. It was foreign but familiar. I would have a very fly child. But Rocky lives to tour. So last summer, for the first time together since , Rocky and Rihanna went on a tour of sorts.

The couple commandeered a massive tour bus and drove from L. Instead, they threw themselves into the tradition of the Great American Road Trip. They stopped in a few national parks. Rocky dropped acid and made his own clothes, beatnik-style—sewing, patching, and tie-dyeing shirts and pants on the bus. When I ask Rocky whom he met while on the road, he takes a moment to think. One can understand why: Not since Sweden had Rocky had this much time for himself.

And he'd never been able to be so free and unburdened while with his lady. He says he's over working in proper recording studios, which he considers too big and boring.
