A$AP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, and his attorney Joe Tacopina are set to face trial on Monday, October 21, regarding the rapper’s alleged involvement in a shooting. Meanwhile, the duo is also making moves in the soccer world by planning to invest in the British football club Tranmere Rovers.
In other news, Rocky, who shares two children with Rihanna—RZA, 2, and 15-month-old Riot Rose—recently discussed his experiences with fatherhood and his bond with his partner in an interview with W Magazine. When asked how he knew the “Diamonds” singer was the right person to be the mother of his children, he said, “I knew from when we were younger. We both did, I think. So it was only right when we got older. We just kind of reconnected.” The couple first met in 2012 but began their relationship seven years later.
Here’s a look at the rapper’s financial standing, including his partner Rihanna’s impressive net worth.
The rapper’s current net worth is estimated at a solid $20 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. In 2016, Rocky earned an impressive $14.5 million, as reported by Forbes. His income fluctuates based on touring and release schedules.
Currently, he’s busy preparing for the release of his anticipated album Don’t Be Dumb, which was delayed until the fall. In addition to his success in hip-hop and apparel, Rocky is also a notable record producer, working under the pseudonym Lord Flacko.
The Barbados-born singer, songwriter, actress, and entrepreneur has a net worth of $1.4 billion. She was previously the richest female musician in the world until earlier this month when Taylor Swift‘s financial standing increased due to the success of her Eras Tour, valuing Swift at an estimated $1.6 billion.
Tacopina and Rocky have collaborated for several years, primarily on legal matters. Tacopina represented Rocky during his 2019 assault trial in Sweden. Their professional relationship has since evolved, with Tacopina now assisting Rocky in his investment in Tranmere Rovers. The “Praise the Lord” artist is reportedly part of an investment group led by the celebrity lawyer, who has a notable background in Italian football. He was involved in the U.S. group that purchased AS Roma in 2011 before moving on to Bologna three years later.
