Rihanna Shares Pharrell Williams Inspired Son's Name and Reflects on Family Life

The singer reveals the origins of her son Riot's name and opens up about parenting with A$AP Rocky in a new interview.

Rihanna revealed that Pharrell Williams suggested the name Riot for her second son, originally thinking the baby would be a girl.
The name Riot connects to A$AP Rocky's 2023 song 'Riot (Rowdy Pipe'n),' which Pharrell co-produced and is tied to their personal and professional lives.
Rihanna described her sons' personalities, calling RZA a 'magical empath' and Riot a 'hilarious' and energetic baby who wakes up singing.
She praised A$AP Rocky's parenting, calling fatherhood the 'greatest thing' about him, though she joked about being 'annoyed' at how much their sons adore him.
The couple, who value living a grounded lifestyle despite their fame, are raising their children in New York City and are open to expanding their family in the future.
