Rihanna and A$AP Rocky love accompanying each other to public events such as red-carpet appearances, fashion shows, or even on the streets. It's public knowledge that they have been dating for years, but not everyone knows the origin of their romance.
The singer recently spoke to Interview magazine for a cover story, giving fans an insight into the early days of her relationship with the rapper. She said they had "a lot of caution" at first.
"We saw fashion the same. We saw creative the same. We ended up in the same circles a lot... And past that, when we grew up, we ended up supporting each other's brands and products and creative all the time. I would wear his s***, he would show up to my launches," Rihanna recalled.
