Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have chosen a name for their second child, and it’s been revealed a month after the baby boy’s birth.
According to reports from People magazine and Access Hollywood, the couple named their newborn son Riot Rose Mayers. The birth certificate indicates that he was born on August 1st in Los Angeles, with The Blast being the first to break this news.
Riot is the second son for this power couple, with their first child being RZA Mayers, who was born in May 2022.
It’s interesting to note that the family seems to have a penchant for names starting with the letter ‘R.’ This alliterative trend includes Riot, RZA, Robyn Rihanna Fenty (who is 35 years old), and Rakim Athelaston Mayers (34 years old), which is Rocky’s birth name. RZA’s name was inspired by a member of the Wu-Tang Clan.
While the couple hadn’t officially announced their newborn’s name to the public, Rocky did release a single titled “Riot (Rowdy Pipe’n)” earlier this summer. To confirm the news, USA TODAY.

Rihanna pleasantly surprised her fans in February when she revealed her pregnancy during her Super Bowl halftime performance. The singer, who was 34 years old at the time, graced the stage and delivered iconic performances of hits like “All of the Lights” and “Umbrella.” She did so while wearing a custom red jacket and bralette designed by LOEWE, which beautifully showcased her growing baby bump.
Throughout her performance, Rihanna lovingly caressed her stomach, a heartwarming gesture directed towards her soon-to-arrive bundle of joy. Shortly after her 13-minute set came to an end, the singer’s representative confirmed the pregnancy, adding to the excitement and joy surrounding this special moment in Rihanna’s life.
