ASAP Rocky has just reminded the world that fatherhood is front and center in his life.

During a recent interview with Complex, the Harlem rapper and fashion icon was asked what his favorite creation was this year, and his answer had nothing to do with music, fashion, or business. According to Rocky, his daughter, Rocki Irish, is the best thing he's had a part in making in 2025. Rocky shares his daughter with Rihanna, who gave birth last month.

"My daughter. That's my favorite thing I created this year," Rocky said. "Shout out to Rocki Irish, man."

The 36-year-old artist and Rihanna expanded their growing family following the birth of their sons RZA and Riot. While Rocky has been teasing new music, heading creative campaigns, and building his design imprint, he made it clear that fatherhood still outweighs everything else in his world.

Rocky is fresh off the release of his new PUMA collection, which is available now at select retailers around the world, including Complex Shop. The collection is one of his most ambitious drops since taking on the role of creative director for Puma's F1 division in 2023, a perfect blend of the brand's classic sportswear with Rocky's luxurious, Harlem-bred flair.

The capsule features everything from floor-length faux fur coats to layered mechanic shirts splashed with colorful Puma, AWGE, and "Don't Be Dumb" logos. Animal prints like python and cheetah dominate the collection, a nod to Rocky's latest muse: jungle music, a style of jazz popular in the 1920s and '30s, mostly associated with Harlem's own Duke Ellington.
