RZA is currently busy promoting his new horror movie “One Spoon Of Chocolate,” leading to several interviews. While promoting the movie on The Jason Lee Show, RZA talked about several topics, including learning that one of rap’s most notable power couples paid tribute to him.
How Did Rihanna & ASAP Rocky Honor The Wu-Tang Rapper?
On Wednesday (April 29th), Jason Lee asked RZA how he reacted when he learned A$AP Rocky and Rihanna named their first child RZA Athelston Mayers.
“I took that as an honor, respect, and blessing,” RZA said. “I’ve watched [A$AP Rocky] become who he is. He actually said something to me that I was very impressed by. He was like ‘I wanna be the next you.’ He said that right in my eyes, and I said ‘rock the world,’ and he did it.”
RZA continued explaining his feelings about Asap honoring him
“It’s not just a name, it’s a title,” RZA said. “I pray that this young man as he grows is able to measure things and understand, not just the laws of the land, but the laws of the universe.”
Rihanna & A$AP Rocky have two other children including Riot Rose Mayers and their newest born Rocki Irish Mayers.
