A$AP ROCKY Hopes He and Rihanna Raise 'Open-Minded Children' together: 'Not People who Discriminate'

 


Looking to the Future. A$AP Rocky opened up about the about the values he intends to raise his children with an interview published two weeks after welcoming a son with Rihanna.

"I will always remind my [Future] children to never lose their imagination, even as adults, no matter what. I actually love to watch cartoons," the rapper, 33, told Dazed Magazine in an interview published on Monday, May 30. "I hope to raise open-minded children. Not people who discriminate. And i'm not trying to describe a saint, but realistically, I just want a cool child with a cool parents."

He continued: "Things like diversity and versatility are important, and they'll be embedded in the household."

Fatherhood has also made Rocky think about his own family and the importance of legacy, which he reflected on during his trips to Barbados with Rihanna, 34, ahead of the birth of their child. "It was honestly so unbelievable. I had family there that only camp up [to New York] once every five years, family I only spoke to over the phone my whole life," he explained about returning to the island where his late father grew up. "You remember those one-dollar, five-dollar phone cards I was raised to know about my heritage, but I was missing the actual experience it until I was an adult. It was one of the most surreal experiences I've encountered in my lifetime."
