‘I Watched This 15 Times Smiling Harder Each Time’: A$AP Rocky’s Response to Question Regarding the Best Part of Rihanna’s Fenty Event Has Fans In Their Feelings 

A$AP Rocky‘s fans couldn’t get enough of the rapper’s sweet response to a question regarding his favorite product from Rihanna‘s Fenty cosmetic brand. An ENews! correspondent raised the question at the company event on Feb. 11.

A$AP and Rihanna, who are expecting a child together, made their first red carpet appearance in Los Angeles, California, since their pregnancy announcement weeks ago broke the internet.

The “Fashion Killa” lyricist said while pointing at Rihanna when asked by ENews! what his preferred item from the Fenty line was, “her.” Following his answer, Rihanna uttered the words, “He’s a keeper.” As fans began to view A$AP’s immediate response on the news outlet’s Instagram page, many were left gushing over his reaction.

While several claimed they watched the interview countless times, one social media user expressed how they wished the clip was longer.

“I’ve watched this 15 times smiling harder each time.”

“Is anyone else watching this on repeat? Because same.”

“No I didn’t just watch this 10times.”

“We all wish this video was a bit longer.”

In addition to A$ AP’s remarks, Rihanna opened up about her pregnancy. The 33-year-old told “Entertainment Tonight” how much she’s “enjoying” every moment. She said, “It’s all an exciting journey so far. I’m just taking it as it comes every week. There’s always something new, and I’m just taking it, and I’m enjoying it.”

The “Umbrella” songstress also disclosed to the outlet why it was vital for her to revel in this life-changing experience in terms of fashion since debuting her sexy maternity outfits on her Instagram account. She stated, “It’s a long nine to 10 months. You have to enjoy it. I’m trying to enjoy it as much as I could.”

Rihanna concluded her response by saying she wanted to change the narrative regarding maternal wear. “And fashion is one of my favorite things, so, you know, we’re defying what it even means to be pregnant and maternal. It can get uncomfortable at times, and so you can dress the part and pretend.”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
