    Rocky seems like such an old soul with a young man's mindset. Not to mention humble and stylish. His charisma is just calm and gentle. Him and rih are such a good fit. 😎

    You can tell Rocky isn’t so far removed from Harlem. People actually know him there unlike some other celebrities .

      So true. He goes back to Harlem all the time. Him and Rihanna announced her pregnancy there.
      They hang out there and visit his family.
      He gives back, donating meals to the homeless shelter that supported his family years ago.
      Love to see it
