Rihanna took more than “fourfiveseconds” to share her baby boy’s name.
However, a birth certificate obtained by Daily Mail has revealed that the couple named their son RZA Athelston Mayers, over a year after she and A$AP Rocky delivered their first child.
The singer and Rocky — who are now expecting baby number two — welcomed their firstborn on May 13, 2022. Followed by nine months later with the family making a feature on the cover of British Vogue with Rihanna, funny enough, telling the magazine at the time, “I would like to have more kids but whatever God wants for me, I’m here.”

“We’re best friends with a baby,” she explained of her dynamic with Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Athelaston Mayers. “We have to be on the same page, but we’ve always kind of had that in our relationship. Everything changes when you have a baby, but I wouldn’t say it’s done anything but made us closer.”
Even while she freely admits to being completely smitten with her baby, the Fenty Beauty mogul observed at the time that he is more of a daddy’s boy. “I’m just watching from the sidelines when they’re together,” she said. “I’m literally the girl trying to get into the boys club, waiting for my turn. He is obsessed with his father. And I’m like: ‘Didn’t I give birth to you? What is going on?'”
Calling the father-son connection “undeniable,” she added, “the second Rocky makes eye contact with him he is on fire. The whole thing they say about sons and moms, it’s a myth. Sons and fathers is crazy. I realized that the validation that you really need as a boy is from your father.”

And fatherhood has changed the way Rocky approaches work. As the rapper explained in a January interview with Apple Music 1, “Being outside and working and being creative, it drives more energy for you to think and soak things up like a sponge now that I’m a dad, because I have a whole other perspective.”
