A$AP Rocky has dropped a big hint about what he and Rihanna could name their third child.
Appearing on Late Night with Seth Meyers alongside Anna Wintour, the talk show host asked the rap star if he and RiRi were going to continue a trend they had started with their first two children, Riot and RZA.
Meyers said: “Your first two kids have ‘R’ names, obviously you and Rihanna have ‘R’ names. Is this a lock that the third will have an ‘R’ name, do you think?”
Rocky simply replied: “For sure.”
If Rocky and RiRi press ahead with that plan then they would have to renege on a promise made to the rapper’s lawyer Joe Tacopina to name their next child after him.

Speaking to Extra shortly after Rocky was found not guilty in his shooting trial. Tacopina said: “They grabbed me and they said, ‘Listen, our next baby is A$AP Joe.’”
Tacopina said he replied by telling Rocky and RiRi: “I’m gonna hold you to that.”
Rihanna unveiled her pregnancy at Monday’s (May 5) Met Gala where Rocky served as co-chair.
The 37-year-old Barbadian superstar appeared fashionably late at the fashion event of the year and could be seen sporting a pronounced baby bump which she cradled in front of the awaiting media.

While RiRi did not speak to reporters, Rocky, who is co-chair of the event this year, spoke briefly about the news on the red carpet.
“It is time to just show the people what we were cooking up,” he said.
Rocky also added: “I’m glad everybody’s happy for us because we’re definitely happy.”
The fact the couple are expecting a third child is no surprise given Rihanna previously revealed that she got turned on by watching her longtime boyfriend parent.
“I love him differently as a dad. This is major, major like — it’s a turn on. It’s just like, ‘Wow! What a leader, what a great, patient, loving [dad],” she told Access Hollywood last year.
“And my kids are obsessed with him. I’m just a background, I’m an extra. Yep! It happens! … It doesn’t matter if it’s girls or boys, they love their dad differently and I love to see it.”
