Rihanna’s first born son RZA turned one on Saturday.
The 35-year-old singer’s boyfriend A$AP Rocky, 34, celebrated the special occasion with a number of sweet family snaps shared to his Instagram.
The rapper also confirmed that RZA was named after the leader of the Wu-Tang Clan, writing in his caption: ‘”WU TANG IZ 4 DA CHUREN,” HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY TO MY 1st BORN . RZA❤️’
Rocky’s Instagram caption was in reference to the late Wu member Ol’ Dirty Bastard and his disruptive 1998 Grammys speech — which the rapper also included as a clip among the photos — where he stated, ‘Wu Tang is for the children.’
Earlier this week DailyMail.com revealed that the pop star named her son RZA Athelston Mayers after exclusively obtaining a copy of the little boy’s certificate of live birth.

Rihanna looked stylish as ever as she celebrated her son’s birthday. The pop princess was decked out in a design by Rick Owens.
This top embodies the brand’s eclectic aesthetic – it’s crafted from coated denim, complete with a strapless cut and topstitching. The flared hem accentuates the feminine fit, which juxtaposes perfectly with the bold black hue. Love!
Rihanna teamed the top with monogram trousers by none other than Louis Vuitton. Accessories included the sold-out ‘Skin Cat’ sunglasses by Balenciaga, a custom vintage rolex, and a necklace by Sue Gragg.

One of the adorable snaps saw the Praise the Lord hitmaker — who’s currently expecting a second child with the Umbrella singer — holding the little one with one arm, and embracing Rihanna with the other.
The doting mom was seen gazing over at her little boy, with all three matching in sunglasses. Behind them were colorful balloons.
The Barbados-born star stunned in a black vinyl corset and a Louis Vuitton monogrammed skirt.
Meanwhile her beau rocked a red hat and matched her in a black leather jacket over a blue button up.
Another sweet image saw A$AP taking a photo of the trio in a mirror. Rihanna looked incredible in a woven dress as she held the little one in her arms.
Two other shots saw the proud parents relaxing on the beach in the nighttime. RZA was sat in between them on a blanket, while Rihanna rocked a white fishnet dress.
Rocky sat on the other side in a T-shirt and jeans as well as an American flag bandana on his head. In another beach shot Rihana was pictured giving her beau a kiss on the neck.
There was also a snap of Rocky sitting on a pair of steps and watching his son play on a grassy backyard, with Rihanna’s pregnancy bump visible in the form of a shadow.

The loving father also shared a number of solo shots featuring just him and his son.
One one photo he rocked a white T-shirt while holding a diaper-clad RZA in his arms. Another tender moment saw Rocky showing RZA how to shave.
The name of her baby son was revealed after the couple kept it secret for nearly a year.
The child was apparently named in honor of the producer and rapper Robert Fitzgerald Diggs — stage name RZA — from Wu-Tang Clan.
Rihanna appears to have hinted at her son’s name following his birth on May 13 of last year, as she has worn clothing repping Wu-Tang Clan multiple times since giving birth.
Fans had recently speculated that the little boy might have been named Noah, but there were few indications of his true name.
Notably, the certificate of live birth indicates that RZA was given his father’s middle name of Athelston.
However, Rocky’s middle name has previously been listed by multiple outlets as ‘Athelaston.’

The certificate of live birth also indicates that RZA was born at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Rihanna revealed that she and Rocky were expecting again when she debuted a new baby bump during her show-stopping Super Bowl halftime performance on February 12 in Glendale, Arizona.
During her stunning appearance at the Met Gala with her boyfriend, Rihanna shared with ET that her latest pregnant was ‘so different’ from the first one. ‘No cravings. Tons of nausea. Everything’s different, but I’m enjoying it,’ she explained.
She added that she was ‘in love’ with her littlest one. ‘I’m obsessed and I don’t even feel guilty about it,’ she said.
Rihanna is being similarly tight-lipped about baby number two, and she has not yet revealed its sex.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have been friends and collaborators for more than a decade, and they even attended red-carpet events together in recent years, but it wasn’t until late 2020 that they officially became a couple.
