'My swag is up, bro': ASAP Rocky believes becoming a dad has made him 'cooler'

A$AP Rocky thinks being a dad has made him "cooler".

The 37-year-old rapper - who has sons RZA, three, Riot, two, and daughter Rocki, four months, with partner Rihanna - insisted neither he nor the Diamonds hitmaker are particularly strict parents and he doesn't feel being a dad has damaged his credibility.

Asked who is the "loose" and "strict" parent, he said on The New York Times Popcast: “None of us have to be. We are cool-ass parents...

“I always said to myself, like, ‘Yo, if I ever become a dad, like, I'mma be the coolest dad.’ And I think that's — being a dad made me cooler,” he said. “My swag is up, bro."

The Helicopter hitmaker is vegetarian but is happy for his kids to be "carnivores".

He said: “They eat whatever they want. I got to let them be themselves."
