Rihanna got behind the camera to capture her beau A$AP Rocky for W Magazine‘s Volume 5 issue!
The 36-year-old entertainer and mogul photographed her 36-year-old partner for the mag’s Originals Portfolio at the Merce Hotel, which is a special place for the couple.
“This is very special because this is the first place she fell in love with me…Virgil Abloh shot the music video for ‘Fashion Killa’ in 2012, and that was the same couch where Rihanna and I sat in the first scene…That was that same room,” the rapper shared.
