New York rapper A$AP Rocky and R&B superstar Rihanna are reportedly boo'd up - again. The former rumored couple have decided to give love another shot with cuffing season officially underway.
A$AP Rocky + Rihanna Dating Rumors
According to overnight reports, both RiRi and A$AP are the latest hip-hop couple. While neither have addressed the gossip, new details confirm they’re much more than frequent collaborators.
2020 might be a year unlike any other, but no matter the cast of our ever-shifting reality, one thing remains the same: Cuffing season is upon us. Despite what our crackerjack reporting might have suggested earlier this year, People now reports that Rihanna is allegedly, to the best of our knowledge, no longer single, now that she’s dating longtime friend and onetime opener, A$AP Rocky, who the singer was seen dining with at New York’s Beatrice Inn this weekend.

Rocky + RiRi’s Close-Knit Bond
Over the past few months, Rocky and RiRi have continued to work together. In addition to Rocky starring in her Fenty Skin campaign, he also had a chance to do a one-on-one interview with the Barbados beauty for publications like GQ magazine.
In videos for GQ and Vogue featuring the two, RiRi and A$AP answered questions such as what they first notice in people to how they take care of their skin. “My skin type is just as complicated as men are,” Rihanna jokingly said when A$AP Rocky asked about her skin type for Vogue. “Y’all always try to say women are complicated [but] it’s y’all!” When Rihanna asked the rapper what his own skin is like, he answered: “Handsome.” (People)
Rihanna’s Break-Up
At the start of 2020, buzz developed about Rihanna becoming single. The shocking headlines took over the Internet after RiRi had remained off the market for three years.
She found love … but it didn’t last. Rihanna and Hassan Jameel, her boyfriend of nearly three years, have split, a source tells Us Weekly exclusively. The singer and the businessman, both 31, were first linked in June 2017. However, a source told Us weeks later that the duo had “been hooking up for a few months.” (Us Magazine)
The Initial Dating Rumors
Coincidentally, rumors surfaced about Rihanna and A$AP Rocky possibly dating following her January 2020 split. However, conflicting reports suggested they weren’t as boo’d up as music fans hoped.
The Sun reported the two were dating, with its “Rihanna source” claiming that Rihanna was wary of DTRing. “Rihanna is reluctant to put a label on it as it’s so soon after Hassan,” the source said. “They’re really enjoying each other’s company and taking things easy as it’s still early days.” The Sun‘s report was shut down by E! shortly after it came out, with a source saying, “Rihanna is single. She just got out of a long intense relationship with Hassan. She wants to be single and isn’t going to jump into something. She’s hanging out with A$AP Rocky, but she is not dating him.” That source added that yes, “they have a long history, and she’s just having fun.” (ELLE)
