A$AP Rocky Jokes “It Was Hell” After Teasing New Rihanna Music

A$AP Rocky received a round of applause from Rihanna fans after his recent revelation, but he’s not taking a bow.

Instead, the “Fashion Killa” singer—who confirmed his partner is busy work, work, working on new music 10 years after the release of her album Anti—is revealing what life was like immediately after he spilled the tea.

“It was hell,” A$AP admitted to The Hollywood Reporter in a video posted to Instagram Oct. 18. “Yeah, I shouldn’t have done that.”

And the 38-year-old—who shares kids RZA, 4, Riot, 3, and Rocki, 13 months, with the “Rude Boy” singer—had no desire to discuss her musical decisions anymore, laughing, “I wanna mind my business.”

A$AP originally confirmed Rihanna had music on the brain for a new album—which the fans have dubbed R9—in August, saying on The Jason Lee Show, “She in the studio right now. Yeah, I said it. Sorry, babe. Like, bro, she working. She cooking, no funny s–t.”

Although he regretted the omission even then, quipping, “Damn, I’ma get in trouble for this.”
