$AP Rocky recently revealed that he and his partner Rihanna have a support system when it comes to raising their three kids.
Per PEOPLE, Rocky, 37, touched on how he and Rihanna, 38, juggle between work and raising their kids during an appearance on The Jason Lee Show. The Don’t Be Dumb rapper revealed that they don’t do that alone, as their nannies and mothers help them “a lot.”
“It’s our mothers [and] our nannies, like it’s a lot of help,” Rocky disclosed. “I’d be lying if I told you we don’t got help. We got a lot of help. You know, you need that.”
“Some people unfortunately don’t got that kind of help or support,” he added. “I know as a dad, as a present dad, how much I just want the best for my kids, and I want to be present. But, I’m a hardworking man, you know what I’m saying? And when I’m not at home, I just need to know that my kids are being looked after and loved.”
Rocky and Rihanna share two sons, Riot, 3, and RZA, 4, as well as an 11-month-old daughter, Rocki. Rocky opened up about his children on the podcast, saying that he’s “really sensitive” and “really gentle” when he’s dealing with them. He also touched on how his daughter is different from his sons.
“RZA was my first, so by the time Riot was born, I already had to learn how to — not learn, but I naturally just love both of them equally, right? The thing was it was like big brother, little brother,” the Praise the Lord (Da Shine) rapper said. “By the time Rocki came, it was like, ‘Oh snap, this is different because this is a girl, so you got to handle them a little bit differently.’”
“I’m really sensitive with my kids and really gentle with them, but like with her, I was ultra, ultra gentle,” Rocky continued. “She turned out being the toughest, more than her brothers. She’ll like grab your nose, squeeze it, [and] she takes my braids, yanks it. I’ll be like, ‘Damn, girl. Why you beating up Daddy for?”
Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Athelston Mayers, emphasized that he doesn’t have a favorite child.
“I’m a present dad. I don’t favoritize any of them,” he said. “They all have such different personalities that you love each of them for what it’s worth.”
