The little boy’s unique nickname was confirmed by the birth certificate PEOPLE received earlier this week.

The name is a tribute to Wu-Tang Clan leader, producer and rapper RZA (pronounced “Rizza”), whose real name is Robert Fitzgerald Diggs.

The name reveal comes nearly a year after the “Diamonds” singer and Rocky gave birth to their first child together, and just months after Rihanna surprised the world with a second pregnancy during her Super Bowl halftime show.

“She loves being a mom so her thoughts are here at the moment,” a source told PEOPLE in February. “She’s happier than ever.”

“It’s all. You really can’t remember life before that, that’s the craziest thing ever,” she said. “You literally try to remember it – and there are photos of my life before that – but the feeling, the desires, the things you enjoy, everything, you just don’t identify with it because mentally you don’t even allow yourself to .” Come this far because… Because it doesn’t matter.
