Rihanna and ASAP Rocky hosts rave-themed baby shower in Hollywood
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky aren’t letting recent circumstances keep them from celebrating her pregnancy.
The “Diamonds” songstress and her boyfriend hosted a rave-themed baby shower in Hollywood on Friday, HipHollywood reports.
The lavish festivities reportedly included several of the couple’s famous friends and celebrity cohorts, but the expectant parents kept the event super private.
Guests were not allowed to record video or snap photos, and were expected to keep their photos in secure pouches when they first showed up.
The rave-themed party saw the guests wearing their brightest neon ensembles, and guests were apparently gifted with souvenir party favors commemorating the event.
The gifts apparently included custom t-shirts that read, “I Went To Rih & Rocky’s Rave Shower And All I Got Was This Amazing Shirt.” Photos of the shirts subsequently surfaced on Twitter.
The news of the fun baby shower comes following a series of controversies that have arisen for the couple since announcing the news of Rihanna’s pregnancy.
Despite this, a source told ET last week there was no question or hesitation that Rihanna would stand by A$AP Rocky.
“When she’s in love with someone, She’ll do anything for them.” the source said.

Legendary Ghanaian gospel musician and founder of the Asomafo gospel group, Yaw Sarpong, is reporteddead.
The 66 year old gospel artiste is said to have died at the Emena Hospital in Kumasi on January 20, where he was receiving medical treatment.

Yaw Sarpong is widely credited as a pioneer of contemporary Akan gospel music.
Through Yaw Sarpong and Asomafo, he introduced a distinctive sound marked by rich harmonies, disciplined arrangements and lyrics firmly grounded in Christian teachings.
His leadership and musical direction helped shape the identity of gospel music in Ghana for decades.
Some popular tunes by the group includes ‘Wo Haw Ne Sen’, ‘Tie Obiaa’, ‘Aduro Yesu’ and ‘Awurade Kasa’, tracks that continue to feature prominently in churches and Christian gatherings across the country.
Yaw Sarpong’s death comes barely some weeks after the passing of Maame Tiwa, a key pillar of the Yaw Sarpong’s Asomafo music group.
