\n\tThere\u2019s no limit to a mother\u2019s intuition. Long before A$AP Rocky<\/a> and Rihanna<\/a> were partners and parents of three kids together, they were just friends \u2014 but the rapper says his mom always knew they were meant to be more. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn a clip from an upcoming episode of New York Times<\/em>\u2018 Popcast <\/em>posted Wednesday (Jan. 14), Rocky recalled how his mom, Renee, kept trying to get him and the Fenty mogul together years before they actually did. \u201cMy mother used to say s\u2013t, like, \u2018I know you like this girl that you with right now\u2019 \u2014 I ain\u2019t gonna say no names \u2014 \u2018but I want you with RiRi,’\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s like, \u2018Ma, why you keep saying that? That girl don\u2019t even want me like that,’\u201d Rocky continued of what he used to tell his mother about Ri. \u201c\u2018But we cool, Mom. Like, that\u2019s just my friend, chill.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBut his mom would insist, \u201cI\u2019m telling you, she\u2019s real,\u201d and of course, Renee ended up being right. \u201cMothers know best,\u201d the hip-hop star emphasized.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the clip, Rocky also spoke about how Ri added clarity to his life and helped him realize which of his relationships weren\u2019t beneficial. \u201cBeing with my girl took a blindfold off,\u201d he told the hosts. \u201cShe\u2019ll tell you, like, \u2018That\u2019s not your friend. That, that\u2019s your friend.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe two musicians have now been in a relationship for at least five or six years, becoming closer during the coronavirus pandemic. They now share two sons, 3-year-old RZA and 2-year-old Riot Rose, as well as a daughter named Rocki, whom they welcomed in September.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd according to Ri, they might just be adding a fourth soon. In the comments of an Instagram video about wanting to get pregnant in 2026, the hitmaker wrote<\/a> recently, \u201cSo I\u2019m not crazy then? Bet!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tRocky is currently gearing up to release his long-awaited album, Don\u2019t Be Dumb<\/em>, which is due out Friday (Jan. 16). So far, fans have heard \u201cHelicopter\u201d and \u201cPunk Rocky\u201d from the LP.<\/p>\n
