The name of Rihanna's baby son can finally be revealed after she kept it secret for nearly a year.
DailyMail.com has exclusive obtained a copy of the little boy's certificate of live birth, revealing he is named RZA Athelston Mayers.
The child, whom the 35-year-old pop superstar shares with her partner A$AP Rocky, was apparently named in honor of the producer and rapper RZA, the leader of the Wu-Tang Clan.
“She’ll have my head if I tell you,” he quipped at the time.
Interestingly, Rihanna “always thought” she’d be married before she started her family, the songwriter told Vogue in April 2022.
“I’m certainly not gonna let that get in the way of me being a mom,” she went on to say. “Who the f–k says it has to be that way?” Notably, the certificate of live birth indicates that RZA was given his father's middle name of Athelston.
However, Rocky's middle name has previously been listed by multiple outlets as 'Athelaston.'
The certificate of live birth also indicates that RZA was born at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
One of Rihanna's recent hints about her son's secret name was on April 5, when she was seen carrying the beaming boy while wearing a baggy black Wu-Tang Clan top as she was seen leaving a meal at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica.
The Umbrella singer wasn't particularly subtle on August 12 of last year, nearly three months after she gave birth, when she stepped out in New York City in a baggy white RZA T-shirt.
The extent of Rihanna's fandom for RZA and the rest of the Wu-Tang Clan isn't totally clear.
Her partner Rocky is definitely a fan, though, as he previously collaborated with Raekwon from the rap group on the 2015 song Fly International Luxurious Art.
Their son is seemingly named after producer and rapper RZA, the leader of the Wu-Tang Clan.
The Fenty Beauty creator, 35, gave birth to their son on May 13, 2022, four months after Page Six broke the pregnancy news.
They did not give fans a glimpse of the baby for several months until Rihanna finally posted a video of her child on Instagram. The “Shut Up and Drive” singer also described her plans to be “a passenger as much as the driver” in parenthood, gushing, “They’re going to teach me more than I could ever teach them. And I want them to go for it. I want to see who they are in the world, who they become.”
While she and the rapper, 34, weren’t “planning” to conceive or tracking her ovulation, they also “weren’t planning against” a pregnancy.
