Daily Mail Online 2024/5/20

 A$AP Rocky was on daddy duty on Tuesday afternoon in New York City with him and partner Rihanna's son RZA.

His sighting comes after him and Rihanna had to last minute cancel their appearance at Monday's Met Gala, after she reportedly got sick with the flu, per People.

The 35-year-old rapper, born Rakim Athelaston Mayers, looked every inch the doting dad he is on Tuesday, while holding his oldest son RZA, who turns two on May 13, in his arms.

A$AP and Rihanna, 36, share two sons together: RZA Athelaston Mayers and their youngest Riot Rose Mayers, nine months.

A$AP wore a black and white Puma shirt with shorts, adding matching socks and sneakers for his father-son outing on Tuesday.

RZA looked adorable in an orange and cream checkered set and blue shoes.

Rihanna and A$AP started dating in January 2020 after being longtime friends; they welcomed son RZA on May 13, 2022 and son Riot on August 1, 2023. 

Their relationship has been going from strength to strength since.

Rihanna was seen on Saturday - two days prior to the Met Gala - in Miami with A$AP at his Puma pop-up location.

She debuted her new hot pink hair at the Miami event, speculating the bold new hair color was going to complement her Met Gala look.

Following their Miami trip, Rihanna and the family headed to New York City.

According to a Page Six insider, a stylist for her 'was seen at the Carlyle Hotel greeting the security team that carried her jewels' for the event.

On April 27, Rihanna spoke to Extra about her outfit she was planning on wearing to the Met Gala.

'I'm actually just keeping it real simple this year,' she told the outlet while at a Fenty Beauty line event in LA.

'Very simple... I think it's gonna come to what my makeup and what my hair is going to do. We wanna play with that, but I have no idea what I'm gonna do with that.'

Adding that the outfit would be 'very simple-ish... compared to everything' she's done.

Rihanna has consistently arrived fashionably late to previous Met Galas, and noted in the interview that she is 'showing up for dinner! Shout out to Anna Wintour.'
