More about Rihanna's children
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky named their first son RZA Athelston Mayers. He was born in May 2022. The name is said to be an homage to Wu-Tang Clan member RZA. His middle name, Athelston, is from A$AP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Athelston Mayers.
Their second son is Riot Rose Mayers. He was born in August 2023. The name "Riot" could be associated with A$AP Rocky's song "Riot," which came out at the same time.
Both names stirred interest on social media. Part of the fandom has commended the unconventional selection, while some have questioned her and A$AP Rocky concerning their motives. Rihanna has posted responses to several comments publicly to justify her kids' names.
Why did Rihanna and A$AP Rocky choose those names?
The couple has not yet discussed their naming process in detail. RZA Athelston Mayers' name, however, seems to have been motivated by music. RZA is a renowned rapper and producer, and Rihanna and A$AP Rocky both have strong connections to the music industry.
Riot Rose also appears to be linked to music. "Riot" is the name of one of A$AP Rocky's songs. He put out the song in 2023, near the time when Riot was born. Naming a child after a song might be a personal method of commemorating that time in their lives.
There is no word from either about the selection of "Rose" in their second child's name. A few people surmise that maybe it is the way to offer their son a more gentle and balanced name. Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have indicated they select names because they feel them, regardless of others questioning it.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are now parents to two children and have a third on the way. Their boys, RZA Athelston and Riot Rose, have interesting names that match the creative lifestyle of their parents. Although the name of their third child remains a secret, the fans cannot wait to know what the couple has in store for them next.
