As far asA$AP Rockyis concerned, he andRihannahave already completed their best collaboration — music, business or otherwise.
“What could we team up and just like f—ing smash and go crazy on?” Rocky pondered in response to the question before answering, “I think we do a real great job at collaborating and making children.”
“I think that’s our best creation so far,” he said of the pair’s two sons, newbornRiot Rose, andRZA, 18 months. “Nothing’s better than that.”
Rocky then gave a shout-out to the third player involved in his and the Fenty founder’s family of four — “a ghost designer named God” who he said “shaped everything.”
“And we have these beautiful angels, so that’s the best collaboration,” the “Sundress” rapper added of his kids.
The couple also made a surprise appearance at the launch of the new Puma x F1 collection, less than a month after Rocky was namedcreative directorof the athletic brand’s new partnership with F1. Per Puma’s website, the line will “focus on the intersection of the sport and streetwear,” and Rocky will design “bespoke capsules” as part of his role.

Her Puma comeback came in September withthe launch of a new sneaker design, which she called the Avanti. The $160 unisex shoe is a hybrid of Puma’s King football boot and Easy Rider running shoe. Rihanna toldFootwear Newsof the release: “Football is a universal language that brings people together from all over the world, all walks of life, and I wanted to pay homage to that.”
As for her process of designing it, she toldVoguethat she pulled from Puma’s “incredible” archives.
The collection, which dropped Sept. 15, also includes kids’ sizes, which she said was a selfish move. “This time around, we expanded our creations to kids, ’cause I selfishly want my boys in everything their dad and I wear or design.”
