Rihanna, Asap Rocky Name Second Baby Riot

Celebrity power couple Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have unveiled the name of their second child, revealing that they've named their son "Riot Rose Mayers." The announcement comes approximately one month after the baby's birth, and the name choice continues a tradition for the couple, as both of their children have names beginning with the letter 'R.' According to a birth certificate obtained by The Blast, the couple's new addition, Riot Rose Mayers, was born on August 1 at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. The birth certificate provides official confirmation of the details surrounding the birth. The couple welcomed their first son, RZA Athelston Mayers, in May 2022, and the choice of his name paid tribute to the influential Wu-Tang Clan leader RZA. Now, with the arrival of Riot Rose Mayers, it appears that Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have opted to continue the tradition of selecting 'R' names for their children. Interestingly, the name "Riot" may also carry a musical connection, as A$AP Rocky released a track titled "Riot" in July, featuring Pharrell Williams. It's possible that the name choice for their new baby nods to the rapper's recent musical endeavor. Rihanna first revealed her pregnancy with her second child during her halftime performance at the 2023 Super Bowl in February. The moment was captured when she was seen rubbing her stomach on stage, leading viewers to speculate about her pregnancy. Following the birth of their son, sources close to the couple disclosed that they planned to keep their early days of parenthood private, with no immediate plans to publicly introduce their new baby to the world.
