It’s been almost a year considering the fact that Rihanna and A$AP Rocky turned dad and mom to their firstborn. The pair has held their son’s name a secret, so much so that they referred to him as “baby” in Rihanna’s interview with Vogue in March. Now, their son’s identify has been revealed, and it appears to be to proceed a legacy of naming loved ones immediately after icons.

On May perhaps 10, The Day by day Mail acquired a duplicate of the infant’s birth certificate, and according to the records, the couple’s son’s identify is RZA Athelston Mayers. Rihanna nor Rocky have verified or dealt with the leaked certification on the other hand, that has not stopped admirers from speculating about the origin of their son’s title. His very first identify is rumored to be a nod to Wu-Tang Clan rapper RZA.

Their son is not the only individual in the household which is honoring rappers. Rocky, whose real identify is Rakim Athelston Mayers, was also named just after rapper Rakim by his mother. Rocky has confirmed the name inspiration above the yrs and achieved Rakim for the first time (as an grownup) in a 2012 job interview with Angie Martinez.

Virtually seven years afterwards, Rakim recalled when he achieved Rocky as an infant while driving all over Harlem. “A lady walks throughout the avenue. I’m at the gentle, she walks across the avenue. She got the carriage and every little thing. She claims, ‘Can you signal this for me?’ I never ever say no. I say, ‘What’s his identify?’ Rakim. I’m like term?” Rakim informed Incredibly hot 97 reported at the time. “I try to remember that day, result in that was the to start with time hearing another person named their son immediately after me. Like I claimed, humbling practical experience.”

It would seem Rihanna and Rocky dropped refined hints about their baby’s name. Or, possibly she’s just a Wu-Tang stan? Whilst pregnant with their son in August 2022, RiRi wore RZA’s merch from his Beginning of a Prince album. Start…prince — the relationship is mighty strong here. Extra just lately, in April, the ANTI singer was observed carrying an oversized Wu-Tang shirt when out at evening meal with her family members.

The inspiration driving Rocky and Rihanna’s son’s title only receives sweeter. His middle title also matches that of Rocky’s. S’cute! RiRi is now expecting with the couple’s second child on the other hand, similar to her being pregnant with RZA, she has not made available many information. With that claimed, there is a chance the singer won’t be dropping hints about her 2nd baby’s name whenever shortly.
