A$AP Rocky Explores Cinematic Horizons in Psychological Thriller and Discusses the Role of Jay-Z in Modern Therapy

A$AP Rocky is not just making waves in the music industry; he’s also carving out a notable niche in film. His latest venture is the psychological thriller If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, starring alongside Rose Byrne. This project comes on the heels of his role in Spike Lee’s Highest 2 Lowest.

The film has already stirred discussions, not just for its intense narrative but also for Rocky’s candid views on therapy. In a recent interview with Elle, he expressed skepticism about traditional therapy methods, likening them to psychic readings and questioning their effectiveness without shared experiences.

However, the conversation took a turn when discussing the need for more relatable therapists in the industry, particularly from diverse backgrounds. Rocky suggested that rapper Jay-Z could be seen as a sort of therapist, given how many people turn to him with their personal issues. “I think Jay-Z is a Black therapist,” Rocky remarked, highlighting the unique support role Jay-Z plays within the community.

Rocky’s role in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You showcases his adaptability as an actor, something that co-star Rose Byrne praised highly. She described working with him as a “fun dance,” admiring his creativity and natural charm, even when delivering the harshest lines with a disarming smile.

Aside from his career achievements, Rocky’s personal life is also flourishing. He and superstar Rihanna have recently welcomed their third child, adding to their growing family.

The film is set to premiere on October 10, offering audiences a chance to see a different side of A$AP Rocky, where his roles challenge both his acting prowess and his views on modern social issues.
