Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have named their baby boy after Wu-Tang Clan leader RZA, according to reports.

The couple welcomed their son in May 2022 and had been keeping tight-lipped about his name, with fans previously guessing he was called Noah.

Rihanna admitted they changed the moniker numerous times before finding the perfect one, which has a special connection to the music industry.

A copy of the little boy's birth certificate has revealed he is named RZA Athelston Mayers, apparently in honour of the producer and rapper RZA.

Rihanna's baby seems to have the same middle name as his father, whose real name is Rakim Athelston Mayers.

The birth certificate, which was obtained by the Daily Mail, shows that RZA was born at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles.

Rihanna has been very protective over her son and recently opened up about how she tried to keep him out of the spotlight.

"I just went straight into protective mode. Like there wasn’t even time for rage. As parents it just feels so icky, like a violation," she told British Vogue.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky discussed how to handle photos of their son being leaked to the press, recalling: "As we were speaking, we knew they were making calls and deals."

The couple decided that the only way was to sure their own candid photos and videos.

Rihanna is currently pregnant with her second child and announced the happy news during her Super Bowl performance earlier this year.

The Diamond hit-maker delivered a show-stopping set in a revealing red jumpsuit, confirming her second pregnancy.

Showing off a pronounced baby bump at the beginning of the performance, she rubbed her hand over her stomach while launching into some of her greatest hits.
