Rihanna’s Dad Says She and A$AP Rocky Have Already Gone Through a “Few Names” for Their Son

 

In honor of today’s Rihanna Bowl we’re all already counting down to, how about a whole bunch of updates about Rihanna’s personal life? Would that help tide us all over until the football players who will pretty much be the longest opening act of all time clear the field for the main event? What if those v personal updates came from a real source using their real name who is really, really close to Rihanna? Yep. Thought so. Let’s go.

The rare, on-the-record source in question happens to be none other than Rihanna’s dad, Ronald Fenty, who traveled from Barbados to the U.S. on Friday and is set to celebrate his daughter’s first performance since 2018 (!!!) with her at the Super Bowl after-party tonight (sadly, he doesn’t have tickets to the concert/pre- and post-concert football game) and recently spoke to Page Six about our collective burning questions about his daughter.

Unsurprisingly, he’s very excited. And by the way, full disclosure: Totally paraphrased that the-football-game-is-the-opening-act bit from him (and it’s so much better coming from a doting dad). “Everybody is saying that football is just opening up for her—it’s the Rihanna show,” he said. “It’s the moment that everybody has been waiting for.”

But now, without further ado, let’s dig into the very personal Rihanna (and Rihanna + A$AP Rocky) goss he spilled, starting with what he had to say about his grandson’s name. Or more accurately, names, because according to him, Rihanna has gone through a “few names” for her son so far. Of course, because Ronald has no interest in being shunned at all future Fenty family gatherings, he stopped short of sharing any of those few names.

And what would happen if he broke the code of silence on the baby name front? “She’ll have my head if I tell you!” Fair enough.
