A$AP Rocky & Rihanna’s Surprise Promise: A Baby Named After His Lawyer?
A$AP Rocky and Rihanna have made an unexpected pledge—if they have another child, they’ll name them after Rocky’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina.
Tacopina, who successfully defended Rocky in his recent shooting trial, shared the surprising moment during an interview with Extra on Wednesday (February 19). After the not-guilty verdict, the couple told him: “Our next baby is A$AP Joe.” Tacopina laughed, saying, “I’m gonna hold you to that.”
The high-stakes trial had Rocky facing the possibility of up to 10 years in prison. Just before the verdict was read, the Harlem rapper turned to Tacopina and said, “No matter what happens, I just appreciate you so much. We’re in this together, and I love you.”
Outside the courthouse, a relieved Rocky addressed the media: “Thank God first. You gotta thank God first. And I really wanna thank the jury for making the right decision… This whole experience has been crazy for the past four years, but I’m thankful. We’re blessed.”
Rihanna also took to social media, writing: “The glory belongs to God and God alone! Thankful, humbled by His mercy.”
Rocky had been accused of shooting former A$AP Mob member A$AP Relli during a dispute in 2021. His defense argued he fired a prop gun and was being extorted. The jury sided with him, clearing him of all charges.
Now, the real question is—will we actually see an A$AP Joe in the future?
