Looks like A$AP Rocky is embracing dad goals in the best way. While fans might expect him to name a fire track or a next-level fit as his favorite creation of the year, the Harlem-born rapper had something way more sentimental (and adorable) in mind. In a recent interview with Complex, Rocky, 37, melted hearts with a simple — but powerful — answer.

Rocky’s Heart Belongs To His Baby Girl
When it comes to accomplishments, A$AP Rocky kept it real cute — and real personal. During the interview, when asked what his favorite creation of the year was, Rocky didn’t hesitate. “My daughter,” he revealed, giving a sweet shoutout to baby Rocki Irish, whom he welcomed with longtime partner Rihanna in September. “That’s my favorite thing I created this year. Shout out to Rocki Irish.” Whew — somebody hand us a tissue!
Rihanna, 37, announced the birth of their daughter on Instagram last month with a sweet photo carousel showing her cradling little Rocki in a soft pink onesie. Fans were quick to spot the tiny ribbon-laced gloves and a delicate “Mom” ring on RiRi’s finger. In the caption, she simply wrote: “Rocki Irish Mayers Sept 13 2025,” tagging Rocky in the post. Between this and Rocky’s proud dad moment, the Mayers family is giving nothing but love.
From “Aww” To “Oop!” In The Comments
Folks wasted no time running to Complex’s comment section after A$AP Rocky’s sweet shoutout to baby Rocki. Many were here for his proud girl dad energy, dropping heart emojis and “he’s so soft now” comments left and right. Of course, a few couldn’t help but throw shade, saying, “Clearly music ain’t his favorite… nor ours,” while others joked that even in dad mode, Rocky still manages to flex on us all.
One Instagram user @awgecentral shared, “He was meant to be a girl dad ❤️”
This Instagram user @allmightee_ added, “He’s such a ladies man he needed that girl“
And, Instagram user @breezyfthebest wrote, “ASAP never gets tired of flexing on us 😂 love that for him 👏”
While Instagram user @danthony_candace commented, “Baby R.I. R.I 🥹🥰🎀”
Instagram user @skurtt.cobain said, “cuz clearly his music aint it😂”
Finally, Instagram user @panqazz joked, “He forgot he need to drop music instead of babies 😂”
Rihanna’s Babies Don’t Arrive… They Debut
You know Rocki Irish is already the Fenty princess — and her mama’s gonna make sure the crown fits early. This past summer, Rihanna gave fans a rare glimpse of her growing empire, dropping adorable pics of her baby bump that had the timeline in shambles. And, while we don’t yet know what her latest delivery looked like, one thing’s for sure: when Rihanna gives birth, she does it in full glam.
This ain’t her first time letting fans into her motherhood era either. Back in March, Rih celebrated International Women’s Day by posting never-before-seen delivery room flicks — and yes, even post-birth, she was that girl. From layered pearl chains to pink sunnies while cuddling her newborns, the Fenty mogul proved that maternity and luxury can go hand in hand. Period.
