Rihanna And A$AP Rocky Reveal Names Of Second Son; Netizens React

Following the birth of their second son in early August, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have finally announced his name: Riot Rose Mayers. Some fans speculate that the name could be a tribute to A$AP Rocky’s recent track “Riot” featuring Pharrell Williams. The news of the name reveal comes a month after media reported the birth of the couple’s newest family member.

The child’s name has been disclosed based on information obtained from official documents by The Blast. The birth certificate confirms that Riot was born on August 1, 2023, at 7:41 a.m., at the distinguished Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. Riot is now the younger sibling to RZA Athelston Mayers, who was born in May 2022. It appears that the parents have a unique naming pattern as both children’s names begin with the letter ‘R’.

When the couple welcomed their first child, they established a unique naming convention. They named him RZA Athelston Mayers in tribute to the iconic Wu-Tang Clan leader RZA. Now, with the arrival of their second child, Riot, there was a lot of speculation about the inspiration behind the name. Many believe it could be linked to the latest track by A$AP Rocky, called “Riot,” which features Pharrell Williams. The name Riot could also suggest something more symbolic, like a nod to the current state of the world or the couple’s desire to raise a child who challenges the status quo. Whatever the reason, the Riot is undoubtedly a departure from the conventional names that parents usually pick for their children.

The accomplished artist Rihanna, who has expanded her talents into the beauty industry, has previously shared her perspective on the empowering nature of motherhood. She has expressed that it instils within her a sense of invincibility.
