The name of Rihanna and A$AP Rocky's child has finally been unveiled.
The singer gave birth to her first child on May 19 last year and it was an incredible moment for the couple, who had only been confirmed to be dating a year earlier.
Fans have patiently waited for months to see whether either Rihanna or A$AP would reveal what they decided to call their little one.
And yet, they have been left with nothing...until now.

The Daily Mail has managed to get a hold of the baby's birth certificate and that has provided us with an insight into the child's name.
Drum roll please.
According to the news outlet, the couple named their first child RZA Athelston Mayers.

RZA is an homage to the de facto leader of the Wu-Tang Clan, Athelston is the same middle name as his dad and Mayers is A$AP's last name as well.
According to Vulture, this follows in a line of people in the rapper's family being named after famous musicians.
A$AP's first name, Rakim, is from the legendary rapper and producer of the very same name.
The first Rakim, who is responsible for albums like Paid in Full, Follow the Leader, Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em, and Don't Sweat the Technique, revealed he met Mayers when he was driving around Harlem.

“I remember a long time ago, driving through Harlem. A lady walks across the street. I’m at the light, she walks across the street. She got the carriage and everything,” Rakim told Hot 97.
"She says can ‘you sign this for me?’ I never say no. I say ‘what’s him name?’ Rakim. I’m like word?
"She’s like Rakim. I sign the joint, I remember that day, cause that was the first time hearing someone named their son after me. Like I said, humbling experience.”

A$AP also has a professional relationship with Wu-Tang's Raekwon on the 2015 song 'Fly International Luxurious Art'.
The Daily Mail says Rihanna could have been alluding to her son's name ever since his birth as she has been spotted out and about in Wu-Tang Clan clothing.
Rihanna is currently pregnant with her and A$AP's second child and everyone is wondering if we will have to wait a year after the baby is born to know their name as well.
It's unclear when the singer is due to give birth but it's safe to say there will be a hell of a lot of media attention on the couple as they grow their family.
