The Don't Be Dumb emcee, who beat the charges from his shooting trial last year, even has his potential tagline, "2029 – vote for Mayor Mayers. Vote for Rocky."

Rocky – born Rakim Mayers – mentioned certain issues throughout the Big Apple, including SNAP benefits and increased train fares, that "most politicians come in promising" to fix.

While hinting that politicians "have ulterior motives," he added, "For me, I make a really great living off being myself."

If Rocky, who shares three kids with RiRi, does purse a mayoral run, that would definitely change things for the A-list couple – but Mayor Mayers does have a nice ring to it!
