A$AP Rocky appeared with Anna Wintour on Late Night with Seth Meyers, where he gave the first hint to the name.
The iconic ‘it’ couple have two kids already, RZA and Riot, and clearly have a ‘R’ theme going on with their own birth names being Robyn and Rakim, respectively.
Seth Meyers said: “Your first two kids have ‘R’ names”, before adding, “Is this a lock that the third will have an ‘R’ name, do you think?”
The ‘Pick It Up’ rapper confirmed they was going to keep the trend going responding: “For sure.”
This is exciting news for fans, as there had been lots of speculation and theories as to what the future baby will be called.
Fans were confident it would begin with ‘R’, with names like Reign, Rebel and Rue popping up.
Rihanna also recently confirmed that this pregnancy should not delay her eagerly-anticipated album, ‘R9,’ with fans joking that she should name her baby after it.
