A$AP Rocky Explains Why He No Longer Records Music at Home

A$AP Rocky has revealed that becoming a father has completely changed the way he approaches his music career, including where he chooses to record.

In a recent interview, the rapper explained that he no longer hosts recording sessions at home because he wants to create a healthier environment for his children. Rocky said many studio sessions often involve smoking and late-night activity, something he does not want around his family. Instead, when inspiration strikes, he now prefers to work in hotel rooms or temporary creative spaces rather than bringing that atmosphere into his house.

The Harlem rapper shares three children with global superstar Rihanna. Their family includes sons RZA Athelston Mayers and Riot Rose Mayers, as well as their daughter Rocki Mayers. Rocky said fatherhood has significantly influenced many of his decisions and priorities in recent years.

The rapper has frequently spoken about wanting his children to grow up with strong values and a sense of normalcy despite having two of the world’s most famous parents. He and Rihanna have both emphasized the importance of raising open-minded children who remain connected to their cultural roots.

Rocky has also shared amusing stories about life at home, describing how different each of his children’s personalities are. According to him, RZA tends to be more reserved, while Riot is outgoing and loves being the center of attention. He even joked that one of his sons once informed Rihanna when he secretly left the house without saying goodbye.

While fans continue to await new music from Rocky, it is clear that family now plays a central role in how he balances his personal life and creative process. For the rapper, keeping studio sessions away from home is one of the ways he ensures his children grow up in the environment he wants for them.
