A$AP Rocky and Rihanna Promise Baby Name After Legal Victory
A$AP Rocky and Rihanna have fresh baby naming plans inspired by triumph in the courtroom and a sprinkle of affection for their lawyer, Joe Tacopina. After being acquitted on February 18 of two assault charges, the rapper, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, jubilantly promised to name their next child “A$AP Joe,” in a swoon-worthy display of gratitude for Tacopina’s legal prowess. Talk about taking “thank you” gifts to a whole new level! Tacopina himself shared this touching revelation in an interview with Extra, where he described the moment this unconventional promise was made, prompting him to joke, “I’m gonna hold you to that!”
It’s a heartwarming scenario, especially when you consider how much was at stake. According to Tacopina, prior to the verdict, Rocky expressed gratitude, not quite knowing if he’d return home to his children, RZA, 2, and Riot, 18 months, or head off to incarceration for what could have been a decade. “It was special that he did that,” Tacopina reflected, underscoring the gravity of the situation faced by the hip-hop star.
In the courtroom, emotions flew high like confetti at a parade when the verdict was read, and Rocky couldn’t contain his joy, rocketing into a hug with Rihanna that would make a Hallmark card blush. Meanwhile, Rihanna took to her Insta, thanking the Big Guy upstairs—”THE GLORY BELONGS TO GOD AND GOD ALONE!” she declared, ensuring her spiritual gratitude was louder than her designer clothes.
For readers new to the glamorous couple’s saga, it’s worth noting that Rihanna and A$AP’s relationship blossomed from collaborators to parents over the years. They set the stage on fire at the 2012 MTV VMAs with their sultry performance of “Cockiness,” and they’ve been serving looks and love ever since. According to sources, despite rumors swirling about an engagement sparked by playful teeth decoration in his “D.M.B.” music video, they’ve kept their relationship delightfully uncomplicated—at least by celebrity standards.
So, amid the glamour, glitz, and the occasional courtroom drama, this couple is ready to expand their family. As they prepare for the next chapter, let’s just hope Baby A$AP Joe is as talented as their parents—although judging by the genes, they might just have a future superstar in their midst.
