Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 boy’s name is also “a title,” the rapper explained

RZA is flattered that Rihanna and A$AP Rocky chose his moniker for their 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 boy.

In May, a 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 certificate obtained by PEOPLE confirmed that the couple named their son, now 14 months, RZA Athelston Mayers (pronounced “Rizza”).

The 54-year-old rapper, whose real name is Robert Fitzgerald Diggs, recently chatted with CNN about the “great honor” he feels over the couple’s decision.

“[It’s] a great honor to know that there’s another generation that’s not even of my own household that feels the strength and the inspiration of that name,” he told the outlet.

“RZA isn’t only a name, it’s a title,” he continued. “So it’s an honor and I salute her and A$AP and their family. All the blessings in the world from me.”

The singer, 35, who is currently pregnant with the couple’s second 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦, recently posted a sweet snap capturing the silhouette of Rocky holding RZA up in the air in a pool overlooking the ocean during sunset.
