Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s second child’s unusual name has been revealed a month after the singer gave birth.
The “Lift Me Up” hitmaker, 35, and the rapper, 34, have named their son Riot Rose Mayers, The Blast reports.
The name could be a subtle nod to A$AP’s track “Riot” which was released in July and featured Pharrell Williams.
It follows the pair’s naming tradition that favors the letter “R,” after the couple named their first son, born in May 2022, RZA Athelston Mayers.
According to the birth certificate obtained by the outlet, Rihanna gave birth on August 1, 2023, at Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles at 7:41 a.m.
The “Diamonds” hitmaker opted for a celeb go-to OB-GYN, Thais Aliabadi, who was previously featured on “Keeping Up With The Kardashians.”
Aliabadi also helped deliver Al Pacino, 83, and girlfriend Noor Alfallah’s, 29, son Roman.
In February, Rihanna’s dad, Ronald Fenty, revealed to Page Six that the new parents have gone through “a few names” for their child.
However, he refused to share the monikers at the time, joking, “She’ll have my head if I tell you!”
The 9-time Grammy winner kept her second pregnancy under wraps until her Super Bowl 2023 halftime show in February.

Although Rihanna explained to the Washington Post in November 2022 that she simply never “got around to” divulging those details, she did hint at the moniker for months by wearing clothes honoring producer and rapper RZA, the leader of the Wu-Tang Clan.
It is also a nod to A$AP’s middle name, Athelaston.
Before the pair became parents, Rihanna and A$AP were longtime friends and collaborators whose relationship took a romantic turn in 2020.
