‘They Cleaned Up at Bass Pro Shops’: Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s Matching ‘Fits Leave Fans Scratching Their Heads

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are usually a fashionable pair, but their effortless looks while visiting a restaurant had fans wondering why they traded in their typical Haute designs for what appeared to them as hunting garments.

The couple was spotted looking comfy and casual while posing with Miami’s World Famous House of Macs restaurant owner Derrick Turton, and turned fans’ heads with their choice of ensemble. Both rocked similar baggy pants, worn-in tees, and trucker caps, while the “Work” singer accessorized with a fur stole.

Fans had questions about the duo’s interesting duds and joked that they looked like they were heading out to the woods to rough it after their meal.

“They dress like they going hunting 🙃”

“Wtf are they wearing?”

“..okayy they CLEANED UP in Bass Pro Shops, didn’t they? LFMAO”

“They are so alike but different and that’s why they’re perfect together imo”

A$AP and Riri have been going strong-ish since November 2020, if rumors are to be believed. The rapper confirmed the relationship himself in May during an interview with GQ, in which he calls the “Umbrella” singer “the one,” telling the magazine, “She [Rihanna] amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones. I think when you know, you know. She’s the One.”

The couple sparked questions of whether fans can finally look forward to a new album from the nine-time Grammy Award winner when they were spotted in New York heading to a studio and filming a music video earlier in the month.

“They are so madly in love,” a source said, according to “Entertainment Tonight.”

“They barely leave each other’s side… A$AP is so grateful for Rihanna. She’s his biggest cheerleader and he doesn’t take her for granted.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
