A$AP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Athelaston Mayers, has broken cover after clips of him appearing to have an argument with partner Rihanna went viral.

Rocky, 37, and Rihanna, 38, have been dominating headlines ever since they were recorded having what appeared to be a heated exchange following their glamorous joint appearance at the 2026 Met Gala on Monday, May 4, with insiders claiming the pair are not on the “same page.”

Now, on Wednesday, May 6, the Sundress crooner made a solo appearance in New York City after the alleged “intense moment” with his girlfriend of almost six years.

TMZ reported that Rocky appeared “tense” and gave off “off” vibes after attending the star-studded fashion event.

For the laid-back outing, he donned a blue jacket paired with plain white trousers and black shades. The father of three was also photographed smoking.

The appearance comes just two days after Rocky went viral online for seemingly fuelling speculation about complications in his relationship with Rihanna following their Met Gala red carpet appearance.
