She and ASAP, real name Hakim Mayers, have known one another for more than a decade. According to the American entertainment publication People Magazine, their first public interaction took place in 2012 during a collaboration at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Thereafter, the duo continued to join creative minds on various other projects, which included her featuring on the music video of his 2013 song, Fashion Killa.

While they continued to be spotted together publicly, it was not until 2020 that their romance officially ignited, following her breakup with billionaire Hassan Jameel.

Since then, the musicians have gone on to become the perfect power couple and are now the proud parents of three children, Riot born in 2023, RZA born in 2022, and their most recent Rocki, born in 2025.

In a previous interview with entertainment publication E! News, she revealed that she and ASAP were accepting of whatever gender the baby would be.

“God knows best, right?” she said. “And I love my boys.”

Meanwhile, there remains ongoing speculation on whether the duo has gotten married. To date, they have done an outstanding job of keeping it a secret.
