How Did Rihanna and A$AP Rocky Choose the Name?

Rocky’s post on Instagram finally gave fans enough clues about his son’s name using a reference to the Wu-Tang Clan. RZA is most probably named after RZA from the Wu-Tang Clan, also known as Robert Fitzgerald. The proud dad even included an epic moment from the Wu-Tang Clan band member’s Grammy speech in 1998 at the end of the photo carousel to drive the message home.

Many of the photos Rocky showed his fans included Rihanna and the baby chilling or him and his son enjoying bonding moments together. The boy’s probably taken after his mother, too, for he has the same stunning smile in most of the showcased photos.

Rihanna revealed she was pregnant again during her halftime Super Bowl performance in February. However, the couple has refrained from making any further comments, so neither the gender nor the due date of the second child is known at present.

Rihanna definitely feels this pregnancy is a lot different than the first one, as shared during her interview on the red carpet at the Met Gala. She told ET interviewers that she doesn’t feel any cravings. There’s no nausea this time, too. The singer also said she’s definitely enjoying being pregnant again, even though the feeling is nothing like her first pregnancy.

When asked about young RZA, Rihanna said she’s absolutely enthralled by her son. She feels totally obsessed with him and isn’t even guilty about it.
