Wu-Tang really is for the children.

May 11, 2023

The name of Rihanna's baby son, who was born in May last year, has remained a mystery but a leaked birth certificate has shown that she and A$AP Rocky looked to the hip-hop world for inspiration. The Daily Mail has obtained a copy of the alleged birth certificate, which states that the child is named RZA Athelston Mayers. RZA is actually a pretty cute name for a baby and definitely one of the better Wu-Tang names for a newborn. Nobody is cooing over Ol' Dirty Bastard.

Rihanna has hinted at the name in recent times, with paprazzi pictures capturing her in Wu-Tang merch. The middle name Athelston, meanwhile, is the same as A$AP Rocky's. The rapper's family have a history of naming children after musical icons, Rocky's real name (Rakim Mayers) is inspired by Rakim of Eric B. & Rakim fame.
