Rihanna & ASAP Rocky Baby’s Unusual Name: ‘Riot Rose Mayers’

Pop sensation Rihanna and rapper ASAP Rocky unveiled the unique name of their second child, a month after the singer gave birth. The 35-year-old “Diamonds” hitmaker and the 34-year-old rapper have chosen to name their son: Riot Rose Mayers.

The name “Riot” appears to be a namesake for ASAP Rocky’s recent song, “Riot,” released earlier this year, featuring Pharrell Williams.

The birth certificate confirms that Riot was born on August 1, 2023, at Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, marking a joyous moment for the couple at 7:41 a.m.

Rihanna and ASAP Rocky have continued their tradition of selecting names starting with the letter ‘R,’ as they did with their first son, born in May 2022, whom they named RZA Athelston Mayers.

The significance of their first son’s name, “RZA,” pays homage to the legendary producer and rapper RZA, known for leading the Wu-Tang Clan, with his real name being Robert Fitzgerald Diggs. Additionally, it holds a connection to ASAP Rocky’s middle name, further adding layers of meaning to their family’s unique and carefully chosen names.

Fans are eagerly awaiting the moment when the couple decides to share photographs of their newest addition, though Rihanna had previously shared pictures of RZA seven months after his birth.
