Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s second child has been revealed. A month after giving birth to their second child, singer Rihanna and rapper A$AP Rocky have finally shared the name they’ve picked for their son: Riot Rose Mayers. The name announcement, which was first reported by The Blast, has sparked suspicion that it is a reference to A$AP Rocky’s recent song Riot, which featured Pharrell Williams. Riot was born on August 1, 2023, at 7:41 a.m., at Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, according to the birth certificate obtained by the publication. Following in the footsteps of his older brother, RZA Athelston Mayers, born in May 2022, and in keeping with a naming custom that favours the letter ‘R,’ the couple’s newest child follows in the footsteps of his older brother, RZA Athelston Mayers.

Rihanna’s OB-GYN is described as Dr. Thais Aliabadi, a notable player in celebrity healthcare, adding to the star-studded circumstances surrounding the birth. She famously collaborated with Khloe Kardashian & Kylie Jenner during their Keeping Up With The Kardashians appearances. Dr. Aliabadi also lately aided in the birth of Al Pacino and Noor Alfallah’s son, Roman. Fans are anticipating the couple’s first public photographs of Riot, especially because Rihanna opted to publish photos of her first son, RZA, seven months following his birth. She revealed her second pregnancy earlier this year in stunning fashion, revealing a baby bulge during the Super Bowl halftime show in February. The first-born son’s name, RZA, is a tribute to the Wu-Tang Clan’s leader, RZA, whose real name is Robert Fitzgerald Diggs.

Rihanna And A$AP Rocky’s Eccentric New Baby Name Was Finally Revealed
One month after his birth, the name of Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s second kid has been revealed. The couple called their infant kid Riot Rose Mayers, according to a birth certificate acquired by The Blast. The infant was also delivered on August 1st at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, according to the certificate. The singer-turned-beauty mogul, 35, and the rapper, 34, seemed to have developed a naming ritual, giving their children names beginning with the letter ‘R’. In May 2022, the couple welcomed their first son, RZA Athelston Mayers, named after Wu-Tang Clan leader RZA. Their new baby’s name is considered to be a tribute to A$AP Rocky. Rocky’s most recent single, ‘Riot,’ was released in July and featured Pharrell Williams. Rihanna announced her second pregnancy during her 2023 Super Bowl halftime show performance in February, when she was seen stroking her stomach on stage, prompting many spectators to speculate that she was pregnant. Shortly after the concert, a spokesman for the singer verified the news.
Following their son’s birth announcement last month, sources told Entertainment Tonight that the new parents will “dedicate the early days of parenthood out of the general public’s eye & aren’t going to make any imminent plans to debut the new baby.” The Fenty Beauty creator and performer has already addressed her decision to post photographs and videos of her eldest son on social media. She told British Vogue earlier this year that she published photos of RZA with the gossip blog Hollywood Unlocked & posted a video of him on TikTok after discovering that paparazzi had taken shots of him without her permission. “It’s the kind of thing you never want to happen,” she told the magazine, adding, “I just went into protective mode right away.” As if there was no time for wrath.” In the same interview, the actress discussed how parenthood impacted her perspective on life. “Having a child honestly uncovers another side of life wherein you’re now in the matrix with people who’ve already had kids,” she explained. “You come to have a different respect for mothers & dads.”
