Rihanna wasn’t letting shade thrown her sons’ way on social media slide without a response.
Over the weekend, Rih celebrated International Women’s Day by sharing a side-by-side photo of both of her babies’ births.

“by far the most powerful thing I’ve ever done as a woman…my little miracles!” she wrote. “And yes I gave birth in pearls and sunglasses…don’t ask, a lot was happening.”
When it was later shared by The Shade Room, one woman took to the comments and wrote, “I hate their names so bad.”

Rih promptly dismissed her but kept it cool, simply writing, “ok tatiana.”
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky welcomed their first son RZA in May 2022, with Riot Rose arriving just over a year later in August 2023.
RZA’s name is inspired by the Wu-Tang Clan leader of the same name – which follows in dad’s footsteps, as it was revealed back in 2012 that he was named after the legendary Rakim.

Reacting to the baby’s name in 2023, RZA said: “[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 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.”
And per Rih’s convo with Harper’s BAZAAR last month, none other than Pharrell suggested their youngest son’s unique name.

“He gave us this name thinking it was going to be a girl, because he had seen something online,” she said. “Pharrell is very deep. He’s not surface.”
And for their next child, Rihanna and Rocky apparently plan to name them after the rapper’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina.

Tacopina, who represented Rocky in his recent shooting trial in which he was found not guilty, sat down with Extra last month to discuss the highly-publicized case.
“They grabbed me and they said, ‘Listen, our next baby is A$AP Joe.’”
Tacopina said he replied by telling them: “I’m gonna hold you to that.”
The 58-year-old also revealed what the Harlem rapper said to him moments before the verdict was read out: “He didn’t know if he was going to go home and see his two babies that night or start a decade-long prison sentence literally that day.

“He grabbed me and he said, ‘Joe, I just want you to know, I know how hard you fought here. I know everything you’ve done, and I just appreciate you so much. We’re in this together, no matter what, and I love you.’”
Tacopina added: “That’s something that is rare. It’s obviously a very serious moment for him, and he has the wherewithal and the thought to think, ‘Let me thank this guy.’ It was special that he did that.”
