Rapper A$AP Rocky is facing criticism after telling fans at a recent concert in Arizona that he would have "f--ked the s--t" out of them if he were still single. The remark, captured in fan footage circulating online, drew negative reactions on social media, with some users questioning the comment given Rocky's current relationship status and age.
"Rocky is pushing 40 and is a father of three. He needs to stop being so pathetic and embarrassing," one user wrote on X. Another commented, "He could’ve easily went with ‘everybody looks great tn’ but went w the worst thing he could say?!"
Some social media users defended the rapper, suggesting the comment was intended as a transition to his song "F--kin' Problems," which features lyrics about relationships and sex. "When yall realize he’s just a cheating ass loser hyped up by male-centered rihanna for no good reason, the world will heal 😂 he will never change bcs men never change and its ok to just admit that," a third tweeted.
Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, has been in a relationship with singer Rihanna for several years. The couple first went public with their romance in 2020 and have since welcomed three children: sons RZA and Riot, and daughter Rocki.
In a January episode of The New York Times’ “Popcast,” Rocky shared that his mother played a role in his relationship with Rihanna. He recounted his mother encouraging him to date the musician, saying, "I want you with RiRi." He added that he was not ready for a relationship like that prior to meeting Rihanna and believes she may not have been either at the time.
