Given that A$AP Rocky and Rihanna named their firstborn RZA, you might guess that they’re big Wu-Tang Clan fans- and you’d be right. However, that’s not the only way in which the couple, specifically RiRi, can now show their love to the New York legends. Recently, the Barbadian singer got a very special gift from illustrious grillmakers and jewelers Gabby Elan. It’s an 18 carat diamond grill emblazoned with “DIRT,” a tribute to the late Wu-Tang pioneer Ol’ Dirty Bastard. In fact, it’s a specific homage to the grill that Gabby Elan designed for ODB back in the 1990s.
Everyone from Pusha T, J Balvin, Tyler, The Creator to even Rocky himself have rocked Gabby Elan grills in the past. Regardless, Rihanna didn’t have to rock grills to rep the Wu with pride, as she’s often been spotted in the group’s merch. Still, a lot of fans went crazy when they realized that the couple named their child after the New York rapper and producer. Recently, they threw little RZA a lavish first birthday party, and will surely continue to spoil him.

However, something that unfamiliar spectators might not have realized is that the decision to name their son RZA isn’t just a sign of fandom. Furthermore, it actually continues a family tradition very close to A$AP Rocky’s heart. For one, the father and son share the same middle name, Athelston, which is already a touching continuation. Not only that, but Rocky’s real name is Rakim, which is an homage to arguably the most important New York hip-hop icon of all time. But that’s a debate for another day. Maybe one-year-old RZA will one day inherit Rihanna’s grill and carve his own path while repping the Staten Island crew.
Meanwhile, the “Born Again” singer recently reached a huge milestone in her career that etches her name even more deeply into the history books of music. She recently passed Eminem as the second artist with the most certified singles. Considering the length and consistent success of her career, such a feat is unsurprising but nonetheless impressive. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news on Rihanna and her family.
