Video that went viral this week suggests Rihanna and A$AP Rocky had a little trouble getting into a New York City bar on Wednesday.
It started when law student Alec Neimand tweeted: “I just saw a bouncer try to not let rihanna into a bar for not having id lmaoooo.”
Then, Twitter user @skylaristired posted video showing the couple talking to a bouncer at Barcade that she captioned: “it’s funny because it’s true.”

Whatever went down, Rihanna, 33, and A$AP Rocky, 32, eventually got in, where they were seen playing video arcade games and packing on the PDAs.
Not surprisingly, there were plenty of reactions to the bar brouhaha on social media.
The shock at Rihanna being refused entry to a night club by a bouncer because she didn't have ID is interesting because people really can't seem to grasp that there are huge numbers of people who simply don't know who these super rich celebrities are

Asking rihanna for ID is like asking queen Elizabeth for her passport. They don’t need one. https://t.co/Cnxwkd25Q5

In an interview with GQ published last month, A$AP Rocky referred to Rihanna as “the love of my life.” He said: “She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones. When you know, you know. She’s the one.”
