Rihanna gave birth to a new baby boy. Itâs the Bajan singerâs second child, and second son, with Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky.
Apparently, itâs news to the rest of the world since TMZ reports that Rihanna actually gave birth earlier this month.
According to âsources,â the new bundle of joy arrived on August 3rd while Rihanna was in Los Angeles. No word on the childâs name beyond that it starts with an R. His big broâs name is RZA Athelston Mayers (he was born May 13, 2022) while dadâs born name is Rakim, so let the guessing games begin as far as whether or not itâs a legendary rapperâs namesake. Russell in honor of the Olâ Dirty Bastard, maybe? Or just plain Rakim Junior?
Weâll have to wait and see. So far, no confirmation in the proud parentâs socials.
Congrats to Rihanna and A$AP Rocky.

Rihanna may no longer be the CEO at Savage X Fenty, but sheâs still representing her brand well, and now sheâs promoting the companyâs maternity bra with a photoshoot that features the âUmbrellaâ singer breastfeeding her 14-month-old son RZA.
âNot ur mamaâs maternity brasâŠdesigned by @badgalriri, approved by baby RZA,â a caption on the companyâs Instagram post read, while another post read, âNot @badgalriri giving us baby fever đ«Â #SavageXMaternity âšOur NEW maternity bras are HEREâš A capsule collection thatâs giving comfort, function and support for ur đ„„đ„„.â
Rihanna is currently pregnant with her second child with rapper A$AP Rocky, and she certainly hasnât been shy about modeling for her fashion company and her fans, baby bump and all.
While the âLift Me Upâ songstress jokingly wore a t-shirt that reads âUse Condomsâ to show off her pregnancy in June, the SavagexFenty site shows the company also has a t-shirt that reads âMake More Babiesâ available.
Speaking of making âmore babies,â Rihanna says her current pregnancy feels âso different than the first one,â when RZA, named for the Wu-Tang founder, came into the world in May 2022.
âJust everything ⊠no cravings, tons of nausea, everythingâs different,â she said during a red carpet interview at the Met Gala in May of this year. âBut Iâm enjoying it, Iâm enjoying it. I feel good. I feel energetic.â
Congratulations to Rihanna, A$AP and RZA, who will have himself a sibling soon. May the family continue to receive its blessings.

For decades, the Wu-Tang Clan have always stated that they were for the children, but when Rihanna and A$AP Rocky decided to name their baby RZA, that mission statement kind of took on a whole new meaning. The RZA himself couldnât help but feel honored by their choice.
In an interview with CNN, the OG Ruler Zig Zag Zig Allah touched on the topic and admitted that his music peers taking his moniker and using it to bestow on their firstborn son was something that touched him. And RZA looked forward to their son taking his name into a next generation of Hip-Hoppers.
CNN reports:
The original RZA told CNN it is âa great honor to know that thereâs another generation thatâs not even of my own household that feels the strength and the inspiration of that name.â
âRZA is only a name, itâs a title,â he said. âSo itâs an honor and I salute her and A$AP and their family. All the blessings in the world from me.â
Word is that A$AP and Riri were down to two names: The RZA or Masta Killa, but decided to go with the former as having âMasta Killa Mayersâ on official government forms might raise all kinds of red flags in Amerikkka. We kid, we kid.
Now, weâll just have to wait and see if Rocky and Riri continue to the tradition of having rapper names in the family (A$APâs real name is Rakim Mayers, he was named after the God MC, Rakim) and which rapper will be chosen to become a part of their growing family. Weâre lowkey hoping for Mic Geronimo Mayers. Just sayinâ.
What do yâall think A$AP Rocky and Rihanna should name their next baby? Tupac? Kool Keith? Roxanne Shante? Let us know in the comments section below.

Rihanna is officially stepping down as the CEO of her Savage X Fenty company, in a move to further the vision and earning potential of the brand.
According to reports, the superstar singer announced that she would be leaving the role with the lingerie brand that she co-founded in 2018 with another group including luxury house LVMH effective on Monday (June 26). Hillary Super, the former CEO of Anthropologie Group will take over the reins as Rihanna will remain executive chair. Since that origin point, her valuation is set at $1.4 billion.
âItâs been beautiful to see our vision for Savage X Fenty impact the industry at such an incredible magnitude over the last five years,â Rihanna said in a statement. âThis is just the beginning for us, and weâre going to continue to expand in ways that always connect with the consumer. Iâm so grateful and excited to welcome Hillary Super as our new CEO â she is a strong leader and is focused on taking the business to an even higher level.â
âIâm thrilled to join the Savage X Fenty family,â Super said in the press release. âThe brand is a major powerhouse in the lingerie and apparel industry, and its unwavering commitment to celebrating inclusivity and fearlessness is inspiring.â Prior to her being global CEO at Anthropologie, she served in leadership roles at American Eagle, Gap and Old Navy as well as Guess.
For the âDiamondsâ singer, the move is another step towards realizing a stronger connection with the consumer beyond digital sales. The Savage X Fenty brand opened up brick-and-mortar locations in seven cities across the United States which include Los Angeles, Houston, Las Vegas and Atlanta, fueled by earning $125 million in investments at the beginning of last year aided by other groups including Jay-Zâs Marcy Venture Partners. Also adding to the brandâs appeal, the Valentineâs Day specials produced in conjunction with Amazon Prime have brought in more viewers and customers.
