Oh RiRi, what’s his name?

Well…it looks like we might actually have the answer to that. Ever since Rihanna and A$AP Rocky announced they were expecting were expecting their first bundle of joy (all the way back in January 2022!) fans have been curious about what the pair would name their baba.

But a year went by, and RiRi announced her second pregnancy with no word on what she had named her son. But according to reports, we now know her little man’s moniker.

With the power couple naming him RZA Athelston Mayers according to People! Magazine.

Ahhh literally the perfect name for the future icon (although he is already pretty iconic tbh).

It is believed that RZA is an homage to leader of the hip-hop/rap collective Wu-Tang Clan, RZA. Meaning their son’s name would be pronounced R-izz-ah.

While Athelston Mayers is A$AP Rocky’s middle and last name, with his full birth name being Rakim Athelaston Mayers.

The name actually follows one of A$AP Rocky’s family traditions of naming the kids after rap artists. With A$AP himself, being named in honour of Rakim from the duo Eric B. & Rakim.

Athelston is an English name meaning “noble stone.”

It has several different pronunciations, most commonly Ath-uhl-stun or Ath-uhl-stan.

The pair are currently expecting their second child, but if they follow the same path as they did with RZA then we won’t be knowing the little one’s name for quite awhile.

Either way we cannot wait!
