After nearly a year of keeping the name of her baby boy under wraps, Rihanna has finally revealed his moniker to the world. The little boy’s certificate, obtained by the Daily Mail, shows his name as RZA Athelston Mayers. Rihanna, now 35 years old, shares the child with her partner, the rapper Asap Rocky.
The couple welcomed their son on May 13th of last year, but until now, they had kept his name a secret.
The name RZA appears to be a tribute to the rapper and producer RZA, best known as the leader of the iconic hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan. Rihanna has long been a fan of the group and has worn clothing bearing their logo several times since giving birth.
Interestingly, the certificate of live birth shows that RZA has been given his father’s middle name Athelston. However, it’s worth noting that previous reports have spelled Asap Rocky’s middle name as “Athelaston.”
According to the certificate, RZA was born at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles, a common choice for many celebrity births. The prestigious hospital has welcomed many famous babies, including Kim Kardashian, Beyoncé, and Chrissy Teigen.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are currently expecting their second child together. It’s unclear when their new addition will arrive or what they plan to name them. However, one thing is sure: RZA Athelston Mayers is a fitting name for the first child of two of the biggest names in music.
