After recently welcoming their second child together, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have plenty of reasons to bust a move.

In viral clips shared on X (formerly Twitter), the two were spotted kicking off a friendly dance battle at a New York City nightclub on Friday night to celebrate the Harlem rapper’s birthday.

Footage showed the birthday boy, who turned 35 last week, and a few of his pals dancing the night away to Waka Flocka Flame’s Round Of Applause on one side of the dance floor, which appeared to be covered in dollar bills.

At one point, Rocky, whose legal name is Rakim Athelaston Mayers, pointed to RiRi, who began twerking to the beat, prompting fellow partygoers to cheer on the billionaire mum of two.

The Fashion Killa and his crew also channelled a You Got Served moment by whipping out a charming semi-synchronised routine.

Social media users on X had a field day over the couple’s moves.

The pair’s dance-off comes just days after Rihanna’s ex Drake seemingly dissed the Fenty Beauty mogul — whom he dated on and off years ago — on his new album For All the Dogs.

Fans pointed to the tracks Fear Of Heights and Virginia Beach as clear evidence of his jabs at RiRi.

In Fear of Heights, the rapper repeatedly says “anti”, which happens to be Rihanna’s 2016 album title. In the song, he disses an unnamed ex for “average sex” and ridicules her new love for not being able to “leave her” like he did.

In Virginia Beach, he speaks of an ex that he could have “treated better” but also condescendingly references her “acting like you got a Parsons degree”. Rihanna earned an honorary degree from the Parsons School of Design.

Rihanna and Rocky became parents for the first time in May 2022 with the birth of their son RZA. They later welcomed their second son, Riot, in August.
