Rihanna Reveals Pharrell Inspired Baby Riot’s Name!
Well, well, well—Rihanna just spilled the tea about her son Riot’s name, and it’s all thanks to none other than music mogul Pharrell Williams! In a recent Harper’s Bazaar interview, RiRi shared that the name Riot Rose Mayers (now 18 months) was suggested by Pharrell, who initially thought the couple was having a girl. They teamed up on the track “RIOT (Rowdy Pipe’n),” so it makes sense that Pharrell was in the name game mood! Rihanna described Pharrell as “very deep,” revealing that he never just throws out a name without a backstory and a full spiritual journey behind it. Talk about creativity!
That’s not all—Rihanna gave us the scoop on Riot’s personality, saying he’s a total morning entertainer, squealing and singing to wake her up like a little alarm clock. Meanwhile, big brother RZA, who just turned 2, is described as an empath with a magical touch for music, water, and good ol’ family bonding.
For those unfamiliar, RZA is named after the legendary Wu-Tang Clan member, who expressed his gratitude for the homage during a CNN interview, calling it a “great honor.” Clearly, the name carries some weight!
But don’t get too comfy, folks, because Rihanna’s already hinting at expanding her family further. She cheekily told E! News she’s got her sights set at a 75% chance for a boy next time—fingers crossed for more adorable little ones! Last June, in a playful admission, she joked about feeling “pure anxiety” if she found out she was pregnant again, but hey, what’s parenting without a little chaos, right?
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s relationship has always had a flair for the dramatic. They’ve been serving looks together since climbing the stage at the 2012 MTV VMAs, and their romantic journey never misses a beat. From their iconic performances to red carpet moments, this couple is forever in the limelight—and not just because of their music!
So here’s to Riot Rose and the fun chaos that comes with being a part of such a creative—it seems RiRi and Rocky’s brood is destined for greatness!
