Four years after Ricky’s death he became part of a rap collective in New York called the A$AP Mob, which he had been invited to join by his then friend A$AP Relli.
A$AP Rocky went on to release his first single in 2011 and a year later he supported Rihanna on tour.
By this time he was a huge star in his own right, having got to No1 in the US album charts in 2013 with Long.Live.A$AP and in 2015 with At.Long.Last.A$AP.
But after rapper A$AP Rocky was found not guilty of a gun assault on Wednesday, the couple are now planning to get hitched, according to insiders.
A$AP Rocky, 36 — real name Rakim Mayers — had a reputation as a bad boy before seemingly settling down with the billionaire singer and businesswoman in 2020.
