July 2020: Beautifully Black Fenty Skin Campaign

Now, we all know that Rocky and Rihanna are uniquely attractive people, but their good looks were placed widely on display when Rihanna recruited A$AP for her summer Fenty Skin campaign.

She also teased Fenty Skin with Rocky via mini Vlogs shot for GQ and Vogue.

“Men love their skin, and they take care of it, but they feel obligated almost to only use products that are for men because anything beyond that feels too feminine, it’s not for them, they’re not allowed, they don’t have permission,” said Rihanna.

Rocky shared his own sentiment, stating,

“I had to discover face cleansing and skincare all at the same time when I was a young buck in the shower,” he said. “You can’t wash your body with the same rag you wash your face with. I was lucky enough to be the type of guy that wants to wash my face.”

The two friends broke the net with jaw-dropping selects from the campaign.

“Being able to drive and do a tour without feeling like it was an occupation or an obligated job agreement, I feel like that experience is like none other,” Rocky recalled. “I never experienced nothing like it.”

He also hinted at future plans, stating “I think I’d be an incredible, remarkably, overall amazing dad,” he told GQ. “I would have a very fly child. Very.”
