Did someone say power couple? Ever since A$AP Rocky confirmed his relationship with Rihanna, the pair have been frolicking around NYC giving us endless fashion inspo with a sprinkle of PDA. Before the days of face-touching, hand-holding, and cuddling in public, Rocky and Rihanna were often spotted together—as friends. Fans, myself included, have been trying to manifest a relationship between them since the early 2010s. Since then we’ve seen them share music videos, tours, award shows, and ad campaigns and at long last—a relationship. If you’ve caught the A$AP Rocky and Rihanna fever (who hasn’t?) then enjoy this trip down memory lane, highlighting the best moments from their decade-long friendship. Relationship? Situationship? Who knows, but we’re here for the fashion moments just as much as the music from this ridiculously good-looking duo.
