Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have revealed the name of their new baby, and people are mocking them for naming him after "one of their songs".
As previously reported, Rihanna surprised fans with her pregnancy announcement during a spectacular Super Bowl Halftime show performance in Glendale, Arizona, earlier this year.
The power couple already have a one-year-old son named RZA Athelaston Mayers, named after the legendary leader of the Wu-Tang Clan, RZA (Robert Fitzgerald Diggs).
Now, the world knows that their newest addition follows in the footsteps of their tradition, as the birth certificate reveals that their second child's name also begins with the letter 'R.'
According to a document obtained by The Blast, their son's full name is officially registered as Riot Rose Mayers.
This choice of name has stirred curiosity among fans, as it seems to carry a musical influence. Rocky's second single from his upcoming fourth studio album, 'Don't Be Dumb,' titled 'Riot (Rowdy Pipe'n),' was released on July 20, 2023.
The birth certificate further discloses that Riot was born at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on August 1, 2023, at 7:41AM.
It seems that fans have picked up on the musical connection and have mercilessly roasted the couple on social media.
One person wrote: "[Rocky] must really like this song he made," while a second added: "Rocky named lil bro after his single."
A third person wasn't overly pleased: "Why he keep trying to advertise that f***ing a** song," while a fourth person concluded: "If this is true..she gotta stop letting him name the chirren."
So it seems like most of the backlash is aimed at Rocky as opposed to Rihanna.
In a conversation with People earlier this year, an insider shared exciting details about Rihanna's journey into motherhood, revealing her joy and enthusiasm for this new chapter in her life.
The source expressed that Rihanna is "excited to be a mom" and "couldn't be happier" as she embarks on this journey. It's clear that the international superstar is embracing this life-changing experience in her own distinctive style and on her own terms.
"Everything Rihanna does, she does it her own way on her own timetable, and having a baby is no different," the source disclosed.
Despite their fame and success, the source emphasized that Rihanna and Rocky are like any other expectant parents, and are overjoyed at their new arrival. "They're just like any other pair of parents-to-be. Yes, they happen to be famous, but they're just the cutest, giddiest young couple that's expecting kids," the source said.
The source also provided insights into Rihanna's deep commitment to motherhood, stating that the 'Only Girl in the World' sensation is "obsessed" with the prospect of becoming a mom. "Rihanna loves being a mom. She is obsessed with her baby boy."
Additionally, Rocky is actively participating in the parenting journey and is described as "very involved" and a "great dad."
Even though the pair give their children unusual names, it's evident that they are great parents!
