Renowned singer-rapper duo Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have finally revealed the name of their second son: Riot Rose Mayers. This news comes a month after their newest family member was born in early August, as reported by TMZ.
Official documents, obtained by The Blast, initially broke the news of the child’s name. According to the birth certificate, Riot made his debut on August 1, 2023, at 7:41 a.m. at the prestigious Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. In keeping with their distinctive naming preference, which favors the letter ‘R,’ Riot joins his elder sibling, RZA Athelston Mayers, born in May 2022.
The couple’s naming convention was established with their firstborn, RZA Athelston Mayers, as an homage to the iconic Wu-Tang Clan leader RZA. Now, with Riot’s arrival, there’s speculation that his name might pay tribute to A$AP Rocky’s recent track, “Riot,” featuring Pharrell Williams.
Rihanna, a multifaceted artist who has ventured into the world of beauty, has previously expressed how motherhood has empowered her, making her feel ready to take on the world.
