A$AP, Rocky delivered a love note to Rihanna in the form of a new song and music video - but there may be more to it than that! While Rocky refers to Rihanna in the lyrics of his song "DMB" as his "angel," "goddess," and "soulmate," the music video for the song that dropped on May 5th may imply that the term "bride" could be apt as well!
The video is a tribute to their relationship, with RiRi constantly by the rapper's side through good and terrible times. However, in the video's conclusion, the Fenty mogul appears as a blushing bride in red, dressed provocatively and carrying a red rose bouquet. The camera then zooms in on Rocky's teeth, which are adorned with gold grills that read, "Marry me?"
The camera then pans to Rihanna, who responds with her own gold, bejeweled grills emblazoned with the words "I do."
Thus, the real question is this: Is this all for show, or are these two, who are expecting their first child together, now legally married?
It can go both ways, considering the entertainment world. Anyhow, regardless if they have gotten married, going to get married, or thinking about getting married, there's no more denying that the two are very happy in a relationship.
Rocky made the announcement about the new track earlier this week. The song's artwork, titled "D.M.B.," stated that the song's title meant for "dats mah bish." The artwork was reminiscent of a retro 1970s/80s movie poster.

Additionally, the artwork included an image from July 2021, when Rih and Rocky taped something on a fire escape in the Bronx, implying that this video would be a snapshot of their current affair. Rocky then replaced the DMB artwork with a video montage of Rihanna and him walking in front of paparazzi. He continued to advertise that something will be arriving "Thursday," albeit he did not specify what.
Rihanna and Rocky's friendship dates all the way back to the early 2000s, long before the two decided to start a family together. In 2012, the two collaborated on a remix of "Cockiness (Love It)." The pair performed the song at that year's MTV Video Music Awards, with Rocky grasping Rih's neck and kissing her. Rocky then joined Rihanna's Diamonds Tour in 2013, serving as her opening act on the tour's North American leg.
They reconnected later that year for Rocky's "Fashion Killa." While Rihanna is not featured on the tune, she appears throughout the video. This fueled speculation that Rocky and Rihanna were more than pals, which he had previously denied in 2015. "If it happened, then it would have happened. We didn't do that," Rocky said, per Billboard. "You never know. That's not what I'm looking forward to. I'm looking forward to the friendship that I already have with all these females."
