In a recent appearance on The New York Times' Popcast, the rapper reflected on how his mother, Renee, repeatedly predicted that his longtime friendship with fellow “Fa$hon Killa” Rihanna would eventually turn romantic.
“My mom used to say some *** like, 'I know you like this girl you're with right now' … I won't say names … 'but I want you with RiRi!'” Rocky recalled.
The rapper went on to say that he brushed it off in time.
“'Mom, why do you keep saying that? That girl doesn't even want me like that,'” he said he would respond. “'We cool – that's just my friend.'” Looking back, he added with a laugh, “Mothers know best!”

The rapper also spoke candidly about how being with Rihanna brought clarity to his life before they got older, noting that Rihanna's intuition guides him in his friendships.
