Despite the joys of fatherhood, Rocky stated that juggling his professional life and parenting may be difficult. He stated that he hadn’t been to the gym in weeks.

When asked which of his two sons is more like him and which is more like their mother, Rocky did not hesitate to describe their personalities.
The rapper said that RZA, the older of the two, is more similar to him. “RZA is going to keep to himself. He’s an introvert,” Rocky said. He went on to explain, “RZA is more so like his dad, like me. And he’s my twin.”
Although Rocky sees a lot of himself in RZA, he does notice that his son has one characteristic with Rihanna. “He got his mom’s forehead,” Rocky joked. But he’s proud of it, stating, “I love my boy’s big forehead! I loved it on his mother. But he got everything else from me.”

“Riot looks up to RZA,” he said in the interview, adding that while RZA is more reserved, he is gradually warming up to his younger brother. “I think RZA’s warming up to Riot,” he said, noting how their sibling bond is already developing.
Though the boys have their differences in personality, Rocky is confident that the boys will become closer as they grow older. As a proud father, he enjoys seeing his sons develop distinct characteristics while cherishing those that remind him of himself and Rihanna.
