RZA of Wu-Tang Clan Reflects on the Honorable Naming of Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s Child
Breaking his silence on the unique distinction bestowed upon him, RZA of the renowned Wu-Tang Clan recently spoke about the honor of having Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s firstborn child named after him.
During an intimate interview with CNN, the hip-hop legend expressed his emotions regarding the christening of the Barbadian songstress and the Harlem-born rapper’s child with his namesake. RZA conveyed his appreciation, saying, “It’s a great honor to know that there’s another generation, not even from my own household, who recognizes the strength and inspiration associated with that name.”
RZA emphasized that his name is merely a title, acknowledging the significance of the honor and extending his blessings to Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, and their family. He conveyed his admiration and support for the young family, wishing them all the blessings in the world.
The news of the child’s name first surfaced in May, when rumors circulated about the baby’s epithet after The Daily Mail allegedly obtained a copy of the infant’s birth certificate. According to the document, the child’s full name is RZA Athelston Mayers, and he was born on May 13 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
On their child’s first birthday, A$AP Rocky took to Instagram to celebrate the milestone and publicly confirm his son’s identity for the first time. Alongside a heartfelt tribute, he wrote, “WU-TANG [IS] 4 [THE CHILDREN]. HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY TO MY 1st BORN. RZA.”
It appears that A$AP Rocky has a fondness for naming children after influential figures in the hip-hop world. The rapper revealed back in 2012 that his own name was inspired by the legendary artist Rakim, showcasing a deep appreciation for the genre’s icons.
In other news, Rihanna recently made headlines with her decision to step down from her role as CEO of Savage X Fenty. In a statement to Vogue, she expressed gratitude for the impact her vision has had on the industry over the past five years. She emphasized that this is just the beginning and that the brand will continue to evolve and connect with consumers in new and exciting ways.
These updates highlight the personal inspirations and growth of two influential figures in the music and fashion industry. From A$AP Rocky’s homage to Rakim to Rihanna’s entrepreneurial journey, their stories continue to captivate and inspire. Stay tuned for more exciting developments from these talented individuals as they make their mark on the world.
