A$AP Rocky receives the Cultural Innovator award at the Fashion Awards

Harlem recording artist A$AP Rocky received the Culture Innovator Award at the 2024 Fashion Awards.

The ceremony took place on December 2 at the Royal Albert Hall in London. According to The Fashion Awards, that is an award given an innovator, leader and image maker in the entertainment industry who has created viral fashion moments which have influenced the fashion industry and culture over the past 12 months.

“We are thrilled to honor A$AP Rocky with the Cultural Innovator Award,” Caroline Rush, chief executive of the British Fashion Council, said in a written statement. “Rocky has made a huge impact on the creative industry and popular culture this year – from his debut at Paris Fashion Week to designing the retrofuturistic district at Moncler’s The City of Genius in Shanghai. With these collections and the promotion of his upcoming album Don’t Be Dumb, he has firmly placed himself at the intersection of culture and innovation. We are also incredibly grateful for his continued support of UK designers and retail.”

Fashion and performing hip-hop songs aren’t the only things A$AP Rocky does while helping his girlfriend Rihanna raise their two children, RZA and Riot.

It was recently reported that the entrepreneur intends to purchase the English skilled football team EFL Club Tranmere Rovers. Rocky is involved in an investment group run by his lawyer Joe Tacopina, which is able to pay 15 million euros ($16 million) to acquire an 80% stake in the English Football League sports club. The rapper’s strong relationship with the lawyer convinced Tacopina that Rocky’s involvement would profit the band.

“Rocky is near Joe and he’s involved to Tranmere’s offer,” an unidentified source said, according to . They also said that Tacopina “believes that Tranmere – a famous club near Liverpool – is underrated and that with clever marketing and celebrity endorsements” Rocky can help “transform that.”

The purchase must first be approved by the English Football League.
