The news of American singer Rihanna and her boyfriend ASAP Rocky’s choice of an unconventional name for their second child has sparked divided opinions on social media.

According to TMZ, the couple recently welcomed a baby boy in early August, and they have now revealed his name as Riot Rose Mayers. The name was reported by The Blast, who obtained a copy of the child’s birth certificate. Riot was born on August 1, 2023, at 7:41 am at Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.
