A$AP Rocky Gets Asked About Drake Diss While Jogging

Author Autumn Hawkins

A$AP Rocky had an unorthodox interview this week by TMZ, who caught him on his morning jog. While the reporter ran behind the “Praise The Lord” rapper, she asked him about his upcoming album Don’t Be Dumb.

A$AP didn’t give the reporter a release date, but he said he is putting the final touches on the album. She also asked him about the Drake diss from his last project For All The Dogs and if he would be addressing it on his project. The rapper just continued to jog and laughed at the reporter who was trying to keep up.

“A$AP, I’m dying. I’m fading fast. Man, you’re in good shape,” she said as she let the rapper continue without her.

Drake Seemingly Disses Rihanna & A$AP Rocky On For All The Dogs

Drake allegedly came for both Rihanna and A$AP Rocky on his latest album, For All The Dogs. RiRi and A$AP have two sons together, RZA and Riot. Prior to her relationship with A$AP, she was rumored to have dated Drake. In 2018, the singer gave an update on her relationship at the time with him.

“We don’t have a friendship now, but we’re not enemies either. It is what it is,” RiRi told Vogue at the time. She has not publicly addressed their relationship (or lack thereof) since then.

“Gyal can’t run me/Better him than me/Better it’s not me/I’m anti, I’m anti,” Drake begins on “Fear Of Heights.” He seemingly references Rihanna’s 2016 studio album Anti. The use of “Gyal” also calls out Rihanna’s Barbados accent as well as her Instagram handle @badgalriri.

“Yeah, and the sex was average with you/Yeah, I’m anti ’cause I had it with you/Okay, I’m auntie like your daddy’s sister/Auntie like a family picture/And I had way badder bitches than you, TBH/Yeah, that man, he still with you, he can’t leave you/Y’all go on vacation, I bet it’s Antigua,” he ends the first verse. The “sex was average with you” line could also be a reference to RiRi’s song “Sex With Me” where she sings “sex with me so amazing.”

The Antigua line references RiRi and A$AP’s vacations in the Lesser Antilles, where both Antigua and Barbados are found. Rihanna is from Barbados and has traveled back to her home country with A$AP Rocky during her pregnancies with both of her sons.

A$AP Rocky: 8 Best Songs Ranked

    “Fashion Killa” is one of A$AP Rocky’s most popular songs. It’s also very apparent how much he loves fashion and styling, and this song is an ode to his talent. A$AP’s flow on this song is very mellow with an upbeat tempo. The song samples Leon Haywood’s 1970’s hit, “I Want’a Do Something Freaky to You.”

    The music video features Rihanna, and some manifestation is found in the lyrics as he raps: “Our babies will be fly-er than their parents.” Rihanna and A$AP Rocky welcomed their second child together this year.
