Blazing His Own Path: A$AP Rocky's Dream of Leading New York City
New York City Mayoral Candidate: A$AP Rocky Suggests Suitability for Mayoral Position in New York City - City Music Icon Asap Rocky Suitable Mayoral Candidate for New York
Hey there!
In a chat with industry insiders at Variety, hip-hop artist A$AP Rocky tossed around a not-so-typical idea - a potential mayoral run for New York City. At 36, the partner of powerhouse singer Rihanna (37) expressed a genuine desire to leave his mark on the Big Apple, stating, "I'm dead serious."
Rihanna's pregnancy style takes center stage:
Sporting a Rap Game King title at the recent Met Gala in NYC, A$AP Rocky turned heads, especially when it came to Rihanna's prominent baby bump. While sauntering the red carpet for the global event, he confirmed, "It doesn't hide her baby bump" when talking to CBS, blessing us all with an adorable sneak peek. Both A-list stars arrived separately, sparking congratulations for the pregnancy, having already welcomed two children into their growing family.
Acquittal and accusations:
Recent charges of assault with a deadly weapon in LA eared an acquittal for the rapper back in February. Rihanna attended several trial days in solidarity, and court records indicate the accusation of drawing and firing a gun arose from a dispute. However, defense lawyers argue that the gun A$AP Rocky carried was a Hollywood prop gun unable to discharge real bullets.
Now, diving a bit deeper: It's essential to note that while A$AP Rocky has expressed interest in potentially leading NYC, solid evidence supporting a serious run for office doesn't seem to be in the cards just yet. Media outlets, like Mojo in the Morning's "Dirty 4: A$ap Rocky Wants to Run for NYC Mayor," have discussed such a possibility, but it appears to be more speculative than a genuine political intention for the moment[1]. Current focus on A$AP Rocky mainly stems from his antics at events, such as the Met Gala, rather than any concrete political aspirations[3].
So, while we can't predict the future, let's keep our eyes peeled for any updates regarding A$AP Rocky's intentions - whether they're serious or just a friendly shake-up in the entertainment world. Stay tuned!
