A$AP Rocky says he’s “excited” about Rihanna’s comeback

The duo has been romantically linked since the beginning of 2020, although they worked together on several hits in previous years.

Ahead of February’s Super Bowl halftime performance, Rocky revealed that he’s proud of Rihanna and can’t wait to see what she’s up to.
