A$AP Rocky covered everything from his Harlem roots to his relationship with Rihanna during his nearly two-hour appearance on The Jason Lee Show, but it was an unexpected video of his daughter Rocki that delivered one of the interview’s most heartfelt moments.
Toward the end of Wednesday’s (Aug. 5) BET exclusive interview, host Jason Lee surprised the rapper with never-before-seen footage of his daughter Rocki crawling for the first time — a clip Rocky admitted he had never seen. The video then sparked a conversation about fatherhood, raising three children with Rihanna and why being a present parent has become one of the most important roles in his life.
When asked how he manages to love each of his children equally while embracing their different personalities, Rocky said becoming a father has come naturally. While his eldest son RZA helped him discover what parenthood felt like and Riot reinforced those instincts, welcoming a daughter brought an entirely new perspective.
