Growing up in the Highbridge area of the Bronx, he started writing lyrics and freestyling at the young age of 12. After attending high school for a few years in Florida, he returned to Highbridge with a renewed determination to build a career in rap. Alongside Bubba and Don Q, A Boogie helped establish the independent record label Highbridge and released his debut mixtape, *Artist*, in 2016. This project created a strong wave of buzz and even landed him opportunities to open for major artists like Future and Drake. His first EP, *TBA*, dropped later in 2016 and climbed to number 63 on the US Billboard 200 chart. In June 2017, A Boogie was featured in XXL’s prestigious freshman class list, marking another milestone in his early career. That September, he released his first full-length album, *The Bigger Artist*, which included the popular track "Drowning" featuring Kodak Black. His follow-up album, *Hoodie SZN* (2018), performed even better, debuting at number 2 on the US Billboard 200. With his quick rise to fame, A Boogie found himself collaborating with numerous artists, many of whom appeared on his third studio album, *Artist 2.0*, released in 2020. After taking a short hiatus during the pandemic and facing the challenge of leaked music, he returned strong with his fourth album, *Me vs. Myself*, which dropped in early December 2022. The album debuted at number 6 on the US Billboard 200 and was followed by a massive, sold-out tour across North America and Europe. In addition to his solo work, A Boogie wit da Hoodie also contributed to the soundtrack of the 2023 animated film *Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse*, delivering the lead single "Calling" alongside Swae Lee and Nav.

Laura Donnelly, born in Belfast, Northern Ireland in 1982, began her artistic journey at a young age, appearing in Irish ballet productions led by the celebrated dancer Patricia Mulholland. As she grew older, her passion for performance evolved, and she became increasingly drawn to acting. That dedication led her to graduate from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in 2004, and not long after, she landed a co-starring role in a 2005 production of David Mamet’s *Boston Marriage* with the b*spoke theatre company. That same year marked her debut on screen, with appearances in *Sugar Rush* (Channel 4, 2005–06) and a guest spot on the long-running series *Casualty* (BBC, 1986–). While she continued to take on roles in films like the 2009 thriller *Dread*, much of her early career success came from the stage. In 2007, she starred in *Dancing at Lughnasa* at Belfast’s Lyric Theatre, followed by a 2008 performance in *Romeo and Juliet* at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre. It was in 2012, however, that Donnelly truly captured widespread attention with her powerful performance in Jez Butterworth’s *The River* at London’s Royal Court Theatre. The production was later brought to Broadway, and during this time, Laura and Butterworth also began a romantic relationship. Even as she took on new challenges, such as her role as Jenny Fraser in the hit series *Outlander* (Starz!, 2014–), she remained deeply connected to the stage and continued working with Butterworth. Their creative and personal partnership reached a new high point in 2017 with the premiere of *The Ferryman*, a play written by Butterworth and inspired by real-life events, including the disappearance of Donnelly’s own uncle during the period of unrest in Northern Ireland known as “the Troubles.” The production was a massive critical and commercial success, beginning at the Royal Court, moving to the West End, and eventually making its way to Broadway. Donnelly’s performance in the play was widely praised. Following this success, she appeared in the biographical drama *Tolkien* in 2019 and then took the lead in the science fiction series *The Nevers* (HBO, 2020–), continuing to showcase the versatility and depth that have become hallmarks of Laura Donnelly’s career.

Harlem-born rapper A$AP Rocky has made a huge impact in both music and pop culture over the years. He first rose to prominence with his breakout mixtape, *Live.Love.A$AP*, which quickly gained underground acclaim and set the stage for his mainstream success. His debut studio album, *Long. Live.

That pivotal moment helped shape his artistic path. Born Rakim Mayers—named after the legendary rapper Rakim—he carries a legacy in his name. He also shares a close bond with his older sister, Erika. In his personal life, A$AP Rocky has been linked to several high-profile figures. He previously dated model Jasmine Daniels, and the two even starred together in a Calvin Klein campaign, blending fashion and romance. But it was his relationship with global superstar Rihanna that truly captured the world’s attention. The couple went public with their romance in 2020, and since then, they’ve become one of the most talked-about pairs in entertainment. In January 2022, A$AP Rocky and Rihanna excited fans by announcing they were expecting their first child together. By May of that year, they welcomed a baby boy they named RZA—a meaningful tribute to Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA, reflecting A$AP Rocky’s deep roots in hip-hop culture. Their family grew again in August 2023, when they joyfully introduced their second child, a daughter named Riot Rose. Then, in April 2025, the couple made another sweet announcement at the Met Gala—they’re expecting their third child, adding yet another chapter to their growing love story. Through music, film, fashion, and family, A$AP Rocky continues to evolve while staying true to who he is.

Born Rakim Mayers on October 3, 1988, in New York City, A$AP Rocky was raised in an environment marked by instability—homelessness, gang activity, drug exposure, and family members who were incarcerated. Music became his escape and his salvation. Inspired by the legendary rapper Rakim, after whom he was named, he channeled his energy into crafting a unique sound and identity. He eventually formed the A$AP Mob, a tight-knit group that helped define his artistic vision and elevate his career.

Despite facing his share of legal troubles and public controversy, A$AP Rocky remained a powerful influence on his peers and collaborated with a diverse roster of artists—from Rihanna and Kanye West to Lana Del Rey. In 2013, he headlined his own tour, the *LongLiveA$AP Tour*, further proving his star power. In 2015, he released his follow-up album *At. Long. Last. A$AP*, the same year he made his acting debut in the indie hit *Dope*.
