Rihanna and A$AP Rocky Chose Another R-Name for Second Baby

Second kids are a blast. Those first-time-parent jitters are a thing of the past, and you can think about relaxing a little. There’s less hand-wringing over when to introduce a pacifier, less obsessive logging of length, quality, and general vibe of naps and diaper changes in a specialized, pastel-colored baby app. You might even, maybe, as a second-time parent, allow the world to know your child’s name before they’re 11 months old.

Meet Riot Rose Mayers, second son of Rihanna and A$AP Rocky. Per a birth certificate obtained by The Blast, the infant was born bright and early at 7:41 a.m. on August 1, 2023, at Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.

We’re getting details about the newborn far earlier than the couple’s first child: Big brother RZA Athelson Mayers’ name was only revealed in May, just two days shy of his first birthday.

But then of course, baby Riot (whose name follows the family’s R trend, and may or may not be a nod to dad Rocky’s recent track “Riot”) made a splashy pre-birth public debut as well, when Rihanna revealed her baby bump while performing at the Super Bowl halftime show.

Given this accelerated timeline of reveals, Rihanna will drop the sequel to her “rub on ya titties” maternity shoot any day now.
