Rihanna and A$AP Rocky celebrated their son Rza’s first birthday with an elaborate cash-shaped birthday cake.

Seemingly manifesting all of the good fortune that they want for the little boy, the sweet treat was made to look like wads of $100 bills and was adorned with lit candles.

In a clip shared to social media, young Rza can be seen giggling as his parents, friends and family sing a rowdy rendition of Stevie Wonder’s Happy Birthday.

The couple, who are currently expecting their second child, welcomed their first-born into the world on May 13, 2022.

On Sunday, rapper A$AP Rocky paid tribute to the tot with a selection of images shared to Instagram.

The accompanying caption was the first time that the lad’s name had been revealed and is believed to have been inspired by producer and rapper Rza, 53, leader of the Wu-Tang Clan, whose real name is Robert Fitzgerald Diggs.

“WU TANG IZ 4 DA CHUREN HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY TO MY 1st BORN . RZA,” penned A$AP Rocky – real name Rakim Athelaston Mayers.

Prior to the big reveal, pregnant Rihanna appeared to be dropping hints about her son’s monika, including being pictured sporting a baggy black Wu-Tang Clan top, while dining out with him in Santa Monica on April 5.
