Rihanna’s motherly instincts came alive when she responded to a negative comment about her sons’ names.
- She shared a heartfelt post on International Women’s Day, describing her children as her greatest ‘miracles.’
- A commenter expressed disdain for her sons’ names, and Rihanna replied with a simple, ‘ok tatiana.’
- RZA, the name of her first son, is a nod to the Wu-Tang Clan’s leader.
- The unique name of her second son, Riot Rose, was suggested by none other than Pharrell.
When social media negativity reared its head towards her boys, Rihanna was quick to respond in classic style. She celebrated International Women’s Day by posting a touching photo of her two sons, mentioning them as her ‘little miracles.’ The singer also humorously mentioned giving birth in ‘pearls and sunglasses,’ painting a vivid picture of her unique life moments.
One social media user wasn’t a fan of her sons’ unique names, bluntly stating, ‘I hate their names so bad.’ Rihanna’s response, ‘ok tatiana,’ was brief yet filled with wit, effortlessly shutting down the criticism without losing her cool demeanor.
The name ‘RZA’ carries significant meaning, as it’s inspired by the iconic Wu-Tang Clan leader. It’s a connection further extended through their father, A$AP Rocky, who was named after another rap legend, Rakim. Expressing his admiration, the original RZA shared that this naming choice honors and inspires his legacy across another generation.
The youngest, Riot Rose, was a name suggested by Pharrell, a friend known for his insightful nature. Rihanna shared that Pharrell suggested this name thinking they were expecting a girl, adding a layer of humor and sweetness to the decision.
Rihanna and Rocky have humorously hinted at naming their next child ‘A$AP Joe’ after their lawyer, Joe Tacopina. Tacopina represented Rocky in a high-profile shooting trial, which ended in acquittal. Before the verdict, Rocky expressed his deep appreciation and gratitude towards Joe, marking a significant moment in his life.
Rihanna’s quick wit and steadfast defense remind us why her fans love her so fiercely—she knows how to keep it real while staying classy.
