Rihanna gave birth to baby boy number two on August 3 in Los Angeles and has revealed that his name will also start with an “R” like older brother RZA.
Being named after legendary Hip Hop artists runs in the family, as Rocky previously revealed he was named after the rapper Rakim.
The pair kept their first son’s name a secret for nearly a year – but just ahead of his first birthday, his Wu-Tang Clan-inspired name was revealed. The Daily Mail got its hands on the baby’s birth certificate in early May, revealing his name to be RZA Athelston Mayers.
His namesake was later asked how he felt about the baby’s name, and the Wu-Tang leader called it a “great honor.”
“[It’s a] great honor to know that there’s another generation that’s not even of my own household that feels the strength and the inspiration of that name,” RZA said. “RZA is only a name, it’s a title. So it’s an honor and I salute her and A$AP and their family. All the blessings in the world from me.”
