How Rihanna and Rocky Came up With the Name

There’s RiRi, there’s Rocky, there’s RZA, and now there’s Riot Rose! August 1st saw the arrival of the newest member of Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s family.

The Pregnancy Announcement

Everything Rihanna does is iconic, and announcing her pregnancy was no exception. In February, the singer performed at the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show and showed the world she was pregnant with Riot Rose.

However, that didn’t stop her from delivering a top-notch performance. She appeared on stage wearing a cherry red outfit composed of an Alaïa coat over a Loewe jumpsuit. The outfit showed off her pregnant belly.

Something Mom and Dad Need

Two more things starting with the letter “R” that Rihanna and Rocky need to get are rest and relaxation. Taking care of two babies both under two years old can be quite a task, even for global superstars, specially if Riot grows up to be as wild as his name.
