Part 4/6:
Rihanna previously shared the significance behind her sons' names, revealing that her firstborn, Rizza, was named to honor the Wu Tang Clan member Rizza, whose real name is Robert Fitzgerald Diggs. The choice pays homage to the influential artist and adds a layer of cultural significance to her child's identity.
Riot's name also carries a story, as it was inspired by fellow musician Pharrell Williams. In an interview with Harper's Bazaar, Rihanna explained that Pharrell initially thought she was expecting a girl and suggested the name. She described him as someone deeply reflective, stating, "he will have the entire history, the energy, the time the month that it is."
