Imagine hearing that Rihanna and A$AP Rocky named their baby after you. If you’re Wu-Tang Clan‘s RZA, you don’t have to.
RZA has shared with Capital Xtra radio host DJ Semtex his feelings on Rihanna and Rocky’s choice of name for their first child, who was born in 2022. (The couple is also parents to son Riot Rose and daughter Rocki.)

“It’s a great honor, right,” RZA said during his Friday (March 13) chat with the DJ before praising Rihanna and Rocky’s contributions to music, fashion and culture. “To know that there’s some inspiration from the Wu that entered their hearts and have them name their child after the Abbot, that’s a blessing, bro.”
The hip-hop legend went on to share well wishes for his young namesake and his future.
“I always say that the RZA is not just a name, it’s also a title,” RZA continued. “I’m rooting for him.”
The naming honor is not the only one RZA has received recently. In February, Wu-Tang Clan was nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the first time — nearly a decade after reaching eligibility. RZA has previously advocated for Wu-Tang to be inducted into the Rock Hall.
“I think we should [get in], and I do care. It may take some time to get in there,” he told Rolling Stone in a 2019 interview. “I think it’s good for us and I think it’s good for rock n’ roll, because hip-hop is a form of music that grabs from every genre, but definitely grabs from rock n’ roll.”
Though it indeed took some time, this year could finally be the one for Wu-Tang and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. If the group is inducted this year, it would join only 15 other rap acts with the honor.
