RZA, the iconic leader of the Wu-Tang Clan , might have the honor of being one of the most influential rappers of all time, but there is one particular tribute that he probably didnt see coming having Rihanna and A$AP Rocky name their son after him.

In a conversation with CNN that was published last week, RZA whose real name is Robert Fitzgerald Diggs responded to the touching gesture, saying it is a great honor to know that theres another generation thats not even of my own household that feels the strength and the inspiration of that name.

The New York lyricist continued: RZA is only a name, its a title, so its an honor, and I salute her and A$AP and their family. All the blessings in the world from me.

RZA previously explained in 2015 that his moniker stands for Ruler-Knowledge/Wisdom/Understanding-Allah in a Facebook post .

NME reports that he decided on his rap name after discovering the importance of the letter Z while learning about Islam, per the Hip Hop in America: A Regional Guide Vol. 1. In Islam, the letter Z signifies the nature or essence of God.

Rihanna, who is currently expecting baby No. 2, gave birth to her son last year on May 13. But the musical pair didnt immediately announce their sons name until nearly a year after his birth.

Speaking with The Associated Press last November, the Fenty Beauty mogul explained the delay, admitting that we just didnt get around to it yet, really.

She added, Weve just been living. But I guess theres a certain freedom that comes with kind of just like getting it out there.
