RZA wants A$AP Rocky and Rihanna to name their third child after late Wu-Tang Clan legend, Ol’ Dirty Bastard.
The power couple already named one of their children after the Wu-Tang leader and he is now suggesting they continue the trend for their next baby.
He said to People: “You know what? OBD, because you know the legend must live on.”
RZA previously said how happy he was to be honored by Rocky and RiRi in the unique way.
He said to CNN: “[It’s] a great honor to know that there’s another generation that’s not even of my own household that feels the strength and the inspiration of that name.
“RZA isn’t only a name, it’s a title. So it’s an honor and I salute her and A$AP and their family. All the blessings in the world from me.”
A$AP Rocky recently dropped a big hint about what he and Rihanna could name their third child.
Appearing on Late Night with Seth Meyers alongside Anna Wintour, the talk show host asked the rap star if he and RiRi were going to continue a trend they had started with their first two children, Riot and RZA.
Meyers said: “Your first two kids have ‘R’ names, obviously you and Rihanna have ‘R’ names. Is this a lock that the third will have an ‘R’ name, do you think?”
Rocky simply replied: “For sure.”
If Rocky and RiRi press ahead with that plan then they would have to renege on a promise made to the rapper’s lawyer Joe Tacopina to name their next child after him.
Speaking to Extra shortly after Rocky was found not guilty in his shooting trial. Tacopina said: “They grabbed me and they said, ‘Listen, our next baby is A$AP Joe.’”
Tacopina said he replied by telling Rocky and RiRi: “I’m gonna hold you to that.”
Rihanna unveiled her pregnancy at the Met Gala back in May where Rocky served as co-chair.
The 37-year-old Barbadian superstar appeared fashionably late at the fashion event of the year and could be seen sporting a pronounced baby bump which she cradled in front of the awaiting media.
