The child’s name was revealed a month later and had a connection to A$AP’s latest single,“Riot (Rowdy Pipe’n),” the Los Angeles Times reported.
The 34-year-old rapper, a two-time Grammy nominee whose legal name is Rakim Athelaston Mayers, carries RZA on his shoulders, according to E! Online.
First shared by Vogue, one image features the family leaning up against a Range Rover with Rihanna (whose legal name is Robyn Fenty) wearing navy stretch leggings and an oversized denim jacket, according to The Hollywood Reporter. A$AP Rocky sports a casual look, and in one photo, holds his newborn son in pink overalls and Timbaland boots, the entertainment news website reported.
The couple also shared several photos of RZA, who stood with the help of his parents, People reported. The boy is wearing a tiny jacket while looking at the camera.
