A$AP Rocky revealed the tender inspiration behind his and Rihanna‘s son’s name, RZA, during a recent interview with GQ. The moniker is a direct homage to robert Fitzgerald Diggs, the founding member of the influential hip-hop collective Wu-Tang Clan, and a figure deeply admired by the rapper.
The choice reflects a critically important piece of A$AP Rocky’s artistic lineage and personal values, signaling a passing of the torch to a new generation. This revelation arrives as the couple continues to navigate public life with their growing family, offering a rare glimpse into the intimate details shaping their parenthood. The couple welcomed RZA in May 2023, and later welcomed their daughter riot Rose in August 2023.
“This is what occupies most of my heart: my family,” A$AP Rocky told GQ.
Rihanna has described motherhood as a profoundly transformative experience.”Its legendary. You realy don’t remember what life was like before, this is the craziest,” the artist shared with british Vogue in 2023.
The Wu-Tang Clan, formed in Staten Island, New York, in the early 1990s, revolutionized hip-hop with their unique blend of martial arts beliefs and lyrical complexity. RZA, as a producer and rapper within the group, is especially celebrated for his innovative soundscapes and influential production style.
