Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are sparking marriage rumors after he referred to the pregnant singer as his “wife.” According to Page Six, the rapper gave the public shoutout to the Fenty Beauty founder during his Spotify concert at the 2023 Cannes Lions Festival Wednesday night.
“I’d like to dedicate this song to my beautiful wife in the motherf–king building!” Rocky, born Rakim Mayers, told the crowd.
Rihanna, who showed off her baby bump in a sheer black dress, then smiled at him from the VIP section.
The “1 Train” artist’s declaration caught the attention of fans who began speculating whether the couple had secretly gotten married.
“So ASAP and Rihanna are married?” one fan tweeted Thursday in response to our report.
“Wait, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky Might Be Married? And Didn’t Tell Us?” a second person wrote.
“I feel like Rihanna and asap got married in private,” a third suggested.
“Are you married or not ???? @rihanna,” a Twitter user asked, while another commented, “They most likely married already.”
No public records show that the duo are hitched and reps for Rocky and Rihanna did not immediately respond to Page Six’s multiple requests for comment.
This isn’t the first time that Rocky, 34, and Rihanna, whose real name is Robyn Fenty, have fueled marriage speculation.
In May, the “Rude Boy” songstress, 35, shared photos from the pair’s Met Gala 2023 appearance. She famously wore an elaborate Valentino gown, while he rocked a Gucci suit jacket and a kilt layered over jeans.
“shout outs 2 the bridal party….here come de bride #idoKARL#METgala2023,” she captioned the post, leading fans to believe that the lovebirds tied the knot.
Rihanna and Rocky started dating in 2020 and announced they were expecting their first child in January 2022. The couple welcomed their son, whose name is RZA Athelston Mayers, on May 13, 2022, in Los Angeles. In February, Rihanna revealed she was pregnant again when she debuted her growing baby bump during her Super Bowl halftime show.
Rihanna has since continued to celebrate her second pregnancy with a series of stylish and daring maternity outfits. She and Rocky have yet to share the sex of their unborn baby, though fans have suspected it could be a girl since the parents were spotted buying pink clothes.

Long before TikTok and SoundCloud rap, there was Soulja Boy, arguably the first Internet rapper. Finding success on the website SoundClick and going viral thanks to a dance associated with his debut single, Soulja Boy (DeAndre Way) showed the possibility of what the Internet could do with hip-hop. That’s arguably why he’s invited to take part in the 2023 BET Awards’ tribute to Hip-Hop turning 50.
The mythos around hip-hop is that the genre was born during a 1973 house party held at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in the Bronx. Thrown by DJ Kool Herc, the celebration gave a date and address as the birthplace of hip-hop, and as such, the BET Awards will recognize all those who helped make the genre what it is today. On June 25, stars like E-40, Big Daddy Kane, Chief Keef, MC Lyte, Tyga, Trick Daddy, The Sugarhill Gang, Fat Joe, and others will team up for a tribute to the genre at 50. Read More
