Like father, like sons—A$AP Rocky, also known as Rakim Mayers, has graced Bottega Veneta’s latest Father’s Day campaign with his two adorable boys, RZA and Riot.
On Sunday, A$AP Rocky shared a touching black-and-white ad on his Instagram. The video features tender moments with his sons, including blowing bubbles and playing the piano. There’s also a playful scene where Rocky gently tells his youngest, Riot, to stop hitting his older brother, RZA.
Both boys, dressed in cute white onesies with ‘Best dad’ written inside a heart on the back, sat on a couch with their dad. Rocky, clearly moved, captioned the post with a quote from Carrie Mae Weems: ‘TO ALL THE FATHERS WHO DARE TO DREAM AND ALL THE FATHERS WHO DARE TO LOVE.’
Expressing his joy, Rocky shared, ‘IT WAS A PLEASURE TO WORK ALONGSIDE MY CHILDREN & FAMILY X MATTHIEU BLAZY X BOTTEGA VENETA X CARRIE MAE WEEMS TO BRING U THIS HEARTFELT FATHERS DAY PIECE.’ He added that the campaign captures ‘the vulnerability, love and interaction’ between him and his sons. ‘IM PROUD 2 BE THE MAN THEY CALL DADDA ❤️ HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL PROUD DADS OUT THERE A$AP,’ he wrote.
Rihanna, the boys’ mother, and A$AP Rocky began their relationship in 2020. They welcomed RZA in May 2022 and Riot in August 2023. Rihanna has previously expressed how Rocky’s dedication to fatherhood deepened her love for him. She shared with Access Hollywood, ‘I loved him differently as a dad. This is major, major like, it’s a turn-on. It’s just like, Wow! What a leader, what a great, patient, loving [dad].’
Despite rumors, Rihanna recently clarified she is not pregnant with their third child. She commented that while she ‘would not be mad’ if it were true, she would initially feel anxious before coming to terms with it.
The Bottega Veneta Father’s Day campaign with A$AP Rocky and his sons beautifully captures the essence of fatherhood, highlighting the deep bond and love within their family.
