A$AP Rocky and his common-law wife Rihanna plan to name their next baby after his lawyer, Joe Tacopina, after Rocky’s stunning court victory on Tuesday.
A non-Black jury found the 36-year-old rapper not guilty in a packed Los Angeles courtroom.
The verdict was a happy birthday gift for Rihanna, who turns 37 today (Feb. 20).
Rihanna and Rocky were ecstatic after his huge trial win. In a video interview with Extra TV posted on Wednesday, attorney Joe Tacopina revealed that the couple promised to name their next child after him.
“Rihanna and Rocky said to me in the courtroom yesterday, they grabbed me and they said, ‘Listen, our next baby is A$AP Joe,’” Tacopina told Extra.

Rocky and Rihanna have two sons, RZA Mayers, 2, and Riot Rose, 1.
If RiRi does get pregnant again it would be a late pregnancy that carries increased risk of serious complications. A late pregnancy is defined as age 35 and older.
But women are having healthy babies in their 40s and 50s. Pop superstar Janet Jackson gave birth to her son, Eissa, when she was 51.
