Years before they worked together, A$AP Rocky had already crossed paths with Denzel Washington. During a Christmas spent with the Washington family, Rocky recalls Denzel pulling him aside with fatherly advice:
“In a few years, you gotta get it together. It’s about family.”
That moment stuck with Rocky. Today, as a father with Rihanna and a star in Spike Lee’s new film, he looks back on those words as prophetic. Rocky often cites mentors outside of rap, and Denzel’s wisdom stands tall among them.
