Back in October, we told you that fashion forward couple A$AP Rocky and Chanel Iman were no more. Although word about the split didn’t get out until the fall, the pair actually split up months before that. In a recent interview with MTV News, the Harlem rapper confessed that the split left him feeling quite depressed.
“Me and Chanel broke up in June and I got really depressed, because I knew that she deserves better than me,” he shared.
He went on to say that he didn’t want to be the bad guy, so they decided to end the relationship.
“And that’s the truth. Everybody knows it. I don’t wanna be the guy to Lauryn Hill her — if you know what I’m saying. I love her so much that I would rather not be with her, than hurt her. That’s not to say that she’s a piece of meat that I can play with.”
It appears that their relationship was somehow able to survive the split though. According to the 26-year-old, they’re still “best friends.”
“That’s my best friend,” Rocky said. “You’ve gotta be mature, to be in this type of predicament and have a relationship. I never really talk about these kinda things, about her, and she never really talks about me so I’m not really gonna say much on the subject but she’s happy and that’s all I want — I want her to be happy.”
“I do know that where I’m at in life, I’m still having fun and I’m young and I need to focus on my career,” he added. “[But] she’s still in my life, so it’s a win, win situation.”
Rocky also expressed that she’s still the apple of his eye.
“She’s one of the most beautiful women that I’ve ever laid my eyes on. She looks like a princess.”
