Ooh na na, what’s his name?
According to reports from the Chron, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have named their baby boy RZA Athelston Mayers.
Her son is apparently named after producer and rapper RZA, leader of the Wu Tang Clan.
The 35-year-old Fenty Beauty creator gave birth to their son on May 13, 2022, four months after Page Six announced the pregnancy news.
They didn’t allow fans a glimpse of the baby for several months, until Rihanna finally posted a video of her child on Instagram.
In February 2023, the “Umbrella” singer announced during her halftime Super Bowl performance that she and the rapper are expecting their second child.
That same month, Rihanna’s father, Ronald Fenty, told Page Six that the musicians had “played out a few names” for the boy.

“If I tell you, she’ll get my head,” he quipped at the time.
Interestingly, Rihanna “always thought” she was going to get married before starting her family, the songwriter told Vogue in April 2022.
“There’s no way that’s going to stop me from becoming a mom,” she said. “Who the hell says it has to be like this?”
The “Umbrella” singer’s father told Page Six in February that the couple went through “a few” names before landing on their child’s nickname. GC Images “She’ll have my wits when I tell you [the name]’ Ronald Fenty joked at the time.
The “Shut Up and Drive” singer also detailed her plans to be “both a passenger and a driver” as a parent, and gushed, “They’re going to teach me more than I could ever teach them.” And I want them to to try it. I want to see who they are in the world, who they become.”
While she and the 34-year-old rapper hadn’t “planned” to become pregnant or track ovulation, they hadn’t planned “against” pregnancy either.
