The “Same Problems” musician looked equally overjoyed last month while watching from the field as Rihanna performed a medley of her greatest hits at Arizona’s State Farm Stadium during the Super Bowl halftime show, where she also used the opportunity to reveal that she and Rocky are expecting their second child together. That revelation makes her the first person to do the halftime show while pregnant, and it also marked Rihanna’s first public performance since the Grammy Awards in 2018.
The month prior to that, the rapper expressed both his enthusiasm over seeing Rihanna return to the stage and the immense joy that fatherhood has brought to his life during and interview with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe. He said, “I’m so glad that my lady’s back making music again and whatnot, and getting back out there. It’s just incredible. The Super Bowl is huge, and her being the creative she is, she going to bring it, man. I»m excited. I»m more excited than everybody else, honestly.”
He then went on to share some of the emotions he’s felt since becoming a dad for the first time, admitting that it’s given him a “whole new perspective” on life. “I can’t even explain it, man. You come home to heaven every day. I’m so thankful. God is good, man,” Rocky explained to Lowe. “It’s just one of those things. I’m a member of our club now, like, the dad club. You see a dad, you see me…. I’m a full dad now. Being outside and working and being creative, it drives more energy for you to obviously to think and soak things up like a sponge now that I’m a dad, because I have a whole other perspective. But it honestly helps you get home to your family and get home to your baby.”
