The Fenty-Mayers Baby Has a Name!
It’s official! Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have finally revealed the name of their son, born in May 2022. The little one goes by RZA Athelston Mayers, according to a birth certificate obtained by the Daily Mail.
A Hip-Hop Homage
The name RZA is a clear tribute to the legendary rapper and Wu-Tang Clan leader of the same name. Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are known fans of the influential rap group, and fans speculated for months about the baby’s name after Rihanna sported clothing referencing the Wu-Tang Clan.
Double the Meaning
RZA isn’t the only name with significance. His middle name, Athelston, is a nod to his father, A$AP Rocky, whose full name is Rakim Athelston Mayers, as reported by Entertainment Tonight.
Baby Bump and Super Bowl
Rihanna’s pregnancy news first broke during her record-breaking Super Bowl performance in February. She later opened up about the challenges of crafting a setlist for such a massive event.
Met Gala Glow and Second Pregnancy
Earlier this month, the soon-to-be parents of two beamed with pride about their son at the Met Gala. Rihanna even shared that her second pregnancy is quite different from her first.
With a name that pays homage to musical legends and a second baby on the way, it’s an exciting time for the Fenty-Mayers family!
