When your dad is a superstar mogul, your mom is a former model and you can get runway pointers from the most famous supermodel on the planet<\/a> you’re destined for your own turn in the spotlight. Enter model and rapper Christian Combs<\/a> who has certainly taken a page out of his parents’ books in his own Gen-Z way. From runway appearances at Lanvin during Paris Fashion Week this January to a remix feature on one of the hottest albums of the year to being the newest face of Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty<\/a> men’s line, Combs has not let up on his plans for domination in a year that was anything but easy. We spoke with the rising star on how he’s come into his own, how he balances the fashion and music worlds so well, and plans for his future in music and the runway.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Congratulations on the Savage x Fenty show that you were in. It was great to see guys involved in the model line-up for the first time. How was that experience?<\/strong>
\nThanks, that experience was dope. I was super excited to be a part of that. When originally Rihanna reached out to me that she wanted me, I was surprised like, “Damn Rihanna of all people, needed me to be the face?” I had to stop everything like, hold on, I’m going to have to go work out (laughs) but then I saw that the purpose of her show was to bring in different people with all different types of body types. It was truly an honor.<\/p>\n

Yes, I saw on your Instagram, you threw back to this old photo of when you first met her; how long have you known her?<\/strong>
\nI\u2019ve known her for a minute, actually! That first picture was 11 or 12 years ago at my Pop’s (Sean Combs<\/a>) New Year’s party. I always had a crush on her and that’s when she was on the rise. My uncle said, yo you got to go up to her and we got to take a pic. I took it further though and was like we have to get her number! She gave it to me and I just texted her like once every three months, just to check-in. It all came back full circle with her reaching out to me.<\/p>\n
