According to reports, Rihanna became a mother of two on August 3 after secretly giving birth to her second child with ASAP Rocky in Los Angeles. It was rumored that the singer and rapper ASAP Rocky had been together for years, although they initially kept their relationship a secret.

However, in 2020, they sent the internet into a frenzy when they made their relationship debut and completely set it on fire when the couple confirmed they were welcoming a child together in 2022.

"Throw me to the wolves. Do what you want with me. But he doesn't have a say in any of this. We've been protecting him thus far, and you don't have any consent to be posting photos or selling photos of my child, a minor."

The attempt to conceal their son from the public was successful for a while. Rihanna and ASAP Rocky's firstborn was almost one year old when his name, RZA Athelston Mayers, was revealed after publications obtained his birth certificate.

"She loves being a mom, so this is where her mind is at the moment. She is the happiest she has ever been," a source revealed.
