drake has spent most of 2024 as Punchline from the hip-hop worldbut at least one rapper says he is done with the “Certified Lover Boy.” In his new cover story for Billboard, A$AP Rocky explains why he’s trying to move on from the Canadian superstar and why he has no interest in hip-hop controversy.
Accordingly Moodbefore he publicly punished by Kendrick Lamar with a dropkickDrake and Rocky exchanged barbs about the women in their lives, Rihanna and Sophie Brussaux, the mother of the “Take Care” rapper’s child. Now Rocky is trying to escape the back and forth because he supposedly has better things to do.
“You have to realize that certain n**as have been throwing punches for years. I’m not in the middle of it. That’s not how I react now. I’ve got better things to do than a bunch of wimps,” Rocky told Billboard.
He also explained that it’s all about understanding yourself as an artist. It’s important to know when to push and when to hold back.
“You have to know yourself,” he said. “You have to know, ‘OK, this is too much. This is going too far. This is over the top. This is not enough.’ That’s what I think makes you a unique artist: being able to determine what is necessary. And what is unnecessary.”
His more mature approach to his work may stem from his feelings for his family. The “L$D” artist has two sons – two-year-old RZA and one-year-old Riot – with Rihanna. He revealed how the busy duo make their family a priority, saying, “It’s crazy how we find balance despite our chaotic schedules.”
“(The relationship) is going great. I don’t think there’s a more perfect person because when the schedule is full, she’s very understanding,” Rocky said. “And when the schedule is free, that’s when you get the most time together. It’s all about understanding and compatibility.”
