According to the birth certificate that was obtained by The Blast, it indicates that their second child, a boy, was born on August 1 at 7:41 a.m. in Los Angeles’ Cedar Sinai Hospital. When news broke, reports indicated that their child was born on August 3 (not August 1). The Blast reports that the couple named their newborn son Riot Rose. Their first son, RZA, was named after the Wu-Tang Clan member. The name Riot Rose also has some musical ties as A$AP just dropped a song titled "Riot (Rowdy Pipe’n)."
The Wu-Tang Clan member was asked by CNN what he thought of Rihanna and A$AP Rocky thought of them naming their child after him and he expressed that he couldn't be more honored.
He said that it's "a great honor to know that there’s another generation that’s not even of my own household that feels the strength and the inspiration of that name. RZA [isn’t] only a name, it’s a title. So it’s an honor and I salute her and ASAP and their family. All the blessings in the world from me."
