Rocky recently addressed the idea of welcoming a daughter during an interview with Elle published on Tuesday. He said he'd welcome the opportunity. “I hope it’s a girl. I really do,” he told the publication. “We’re praying for a girl. I feel like it’s going to be a girl. This pregnancy is so different from the other two. You can tell from the experience. I hope it’s a baby girl, man. I need that.”
During a separate interview with GQ, he also claimed that he and Rihanna would be naming their third child after Denzel Washington, regardless of their gender. "Denzel, no matter what," Rocky said. "The first female [to] come out named Denzel, it's lit. We got it figured out." He and Washington starred alongside one another in Spike Lee's latest film, Highest 2 Lowest.
The arrival of Rocki Irish Mayers comes as A$AP Rocky is still gearing up for the long-awaited release of his next studio album, Don't Be Dumb. It will mark his first album in seven years, having dropped Testing back in 2018. Similarly, Rihanna hasn't released a full-length effort since 2016's Anti, but has spoken about working on a follow-up on several occasions.
