In a clip shared to social media, young Rza can be seen giggling as his parents, friends and family sing a rowdy rendition of Stevie Wonder’s Happy Birthday.

The couple, who are currently expecting their second child, welcomed their first-born into the world on May 13, 2022.

“WU TANG IZ 4 DA CHUREN HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY TO MY 1st BORN . RZA,” penned A$AP Rocky – real name Rakim Athelaston Mayers.

Prior to the big reveal, pregnant Rihanna appeared to be dropping hints about her son’s monika, including being pictured sporting a baggy black Wu-Tang Clan top, while dining out with him in Santa Monica on April 5.
