AP ROCKY & RIHANNA'S BABY NAME REVEALED
AP ROCKY & RIHANNA'S BABY NAME REVEALED
A$AP Rocky and Rihanna have shared the name of their second child, born earlier this summer. Based on a birth certificate obtained by TMZ, their baby boy is named Riot Rose Mayers. This choice continues the family tradition of names starting with "R," as both Rocky (born Rakim Mayers) and RiRi named their first child RZA, in homage to the Wu-Tang Clan legend.
Interestingly, "Riot" is also the title of A$AP Rocky's recent single, "Riot (Rowdy Pipe'n)," released in July. This track is expected to feature on his upcoming album, "Don't Be Dumb."
Contrary to previous reports, the birth certificate reveals that Baby Riot was born on August 1, not August 3. Rihanna gave birth privately in Los Angeles, the same city where RZA was born in May 2022.
For their first child, the couple kept the name a secret for almost a year, and it was only revealed on his first birthday when his birth certificate became public. His full name is RZA Athelston Mayers, and the namesake, RZA, expressed that he considered it a great honor for another generation outside of his family to carry his name. He emphasized that RZA is more than just a name; it's a title.
The tradition of naming their children after legendary hip-hop artists extends to A$AP Rocky himself, as he was named after the rapper Rakim.
Rihanna initially announced her second pregnancy in February, and she first showcased her baby bump during her performance at the Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show. In a British Vogue cover story earlier this year, she shared her thoughts on early motherhood, describing it as a legendary experience that makes one forget life before having children.
