The online community is buzzing about A$AP Rocky’s performance for Chanel, which went viral after a video surfaced showing him performing for a fashion forum, suggesting Rihanna had to directly defend him against Drake’s promises of profiting from his music. This happened shortly after Drake released his album, ICEMAN.
The video, capturing A$AP Rocky’s intimate performance for Chanel, went viral and received much negative feedback. Viewers continuously criticized his style on social media.
This backlash intensified just a week after Drake released ICEMAN. In the song “Burning Bridges,” Drake belittled Rocky with a witty rap that Rocky’s music no longer had appeal, while also subtly criticizing Rihanna for not even bothering to post about her boyfriend’s product.
Immediately after Drake released a rap mocking “partners who don’t bother promoting their products,” Rihanna took immediate action to quell rumors of a rift.
Rihanna shared a TikTok video to promote A$AP Rocky’s upcoming tour, “Don’t Be Dumb Tour.”
The singer wrote: “I’m getting ready to go to his tour in flat shoes because I have to carry the kids.” This move was seen by experts and fans as a direct response, shattering Drake’s sarcastic “Where she at?” comment.
The strained relationship between these three stars stems from Drake’s past relationship with Rihanna before she became involved with and had children with A$AP Rocky.
