WHO WAS A$AP ROCKY DATING?
Before he and Rihanna became an item, there were rumors that the rapper was romantically linked to Kendall Jenner between 2016 and 2017. They were all over each other at the 2017 Coachella and MET Gala.
Around the same time, Rocky was also romantically linked to Tahiry Jose, the Love & Hip Hop: New York star. They were reportedly dating between 2014 and 2017, which eventually caused friction in his love life.
In early 2013, he started dating Victoria's Secret model Chanel Iman, but they kept their relationship private even though they appeared at numerous red-carpet events together. In 2014, they got engaged, and it lasted for about six months.

He was reportedly dating Rita Ora in 2012, but their relationship was shrouded in drama. Then in his 2015 song "Better Things," he accused her of having a big mouth, and she denied they were ever romantically involved.
Between June 2011 and June 2012, he dated the Australian superstar Iggy Azalea after being introduced via a mutual friend. She even tattooed his album title "Live.Love.A$AP" on her finger and removed the "A$AP" when they split.
