Rihanna and ASAP Rocky hosted a party Wednesday night at Manhattan’s Sloomoo Institute to celebrate the fourth birthday of their oldest son, RZA.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 38-year-old singer was seen holding RZA, while the 37-year-old rapper held balloons and decorations. RZA sported cartoon-print pants, a tie-dye sweatshirt, and sneakers.\u00a0He clutched a toy and kept his pacifier close.<\/p>\n
Monica Braithwaite, RZA’s grandmother, clasped her grandson’s hand on their way out. The other two kids joined in, too. A friend of the family toted Riot Rose Mayers, 2, while ASAP Rocky lugged baby Rocki Irish Mayers, 8 months old, in her car seat.<\/p>\n
RZA Athelston Mayers was born on May 13, 2022. His name honors the founder of Wu-Tang Clan. ASAP Rocky hid the name for almost a year, then shared it in 2023 when RZA turned one.<\/p>\n
“‘WU TANG IZ 4 DA CHUREN’ HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY TO MY 1st BORN . RZA,” the rapper wrote at the time, according to bck<\/a>.<\/p>\n Both parents say their oldest has a quiet nature. ASAP Rocky discussed RZA during a January 2026 appearance on The New York Times’ Popcast.<\/p>\n “You know, my first son, RZA, he’s just really like, he’s [the] opposite of his brother, the 3-year-old and the 2-year-old,” ASAP Rocky shared<\/a>. “They’re about 14 months apart. So, they’re really close, but he’s really antisocial.”<\/p>\n The rapper dropped another surprise about his son. “My first son never ate candy a day in his life and hates it,” he said.<\/p>\n Rihanna opened up about RZA’s traits in a 2025 interview with Harper’s Bazaar. “RZA is just an empath,” she said.<\/a> “He’s so magical. He loves music. He loves melody. He loves books. He loves water. Bath time, swimming, pool, beach, anything.”<\/p>\n
