Rihanna Urges A$AP Rocky to Be More Careful About His Circle After Court Victory

“Don’t be dumb,” the 36-year-old posted after the trial. Sure, it’s the title of his upcoming fourth album, but insiders tell Star it’s also the rapper’s new mantra and Rihanna, his girlfriend of nearly four years, is making sure he sticks to it. “Rihanna is telling Rocky he needs to be a whole lot more careful about who he hangs around with or lets anywhere near his friends group,” a source says of the 37-year-old, who supported Rocky in court with the couple’s two young sons, RZA, 3, and 19-month-old Riot.

“He has a family to raise and a lot of cleaner-living friends to chill with.” The message seems to have been received. Rocky, who thanked jurors for saving his life, has said he wants to challenge the “player persona” in rap culture and described himself as a “onewoman… family man.” Says the source, “Becoming a dad has been a huge wakeup call” for Rocky (a.k.a. Rakim Mayers), whose father went to prison when he was 12. “Rihanna isn’t putting him on a curfew or anything, but she expects Rocky to make better choices.”
