Known name: Rihanna named her son after a rap brain

The son of singer Rihanna and rapper A$AP Rocky is called RZA Athelston Mayers. This is reported by the British “Daily Mail”, which should have a copy of the birth certificate. Apparently, the 35-year-old’s son was named after RZA, the rapper, producer and leader of the Wu Tang clan.

In mid-February, Rihanna showed her son for the first time at a “Vogue” shoot and also gave an interview. However, in the presence of the journalist she spoke to, Rihanna, Rocky, the family and team deliberately referred to the boy as “Baby,” the author wrote.

Nevertheless, as the “Daily Mail” claims to have noted, since the birth of her child, she has appeared more often in looks with a Wu Tang Clan print. In August 2022, she was even out and about in New York in a shirt printed with the 2003 RZA album “Birth of a Prince”. Possibly small but nice hints from the singer.

Incidentally, the middle name of Rihanna’s son, who turns one on May 13, is also his father’s middle name — albeit apparently spelled differently. A$AP Rocky’s real name is Rakim Athelaston Mayers – he also got his first name in honor of a rapper.

Rihanna will soon become a mother for the second time. She announced this pregnancy in February with her appearance in the Super Bowl. However, further details are not known. The “Umbrella” hitmaker and A$AP Rocky have been dating since late 2020. (t-online/mbo)
