Rihanna supports beau A$AP Rocky in court: More details explored
As per a report by BBC dated January 30, 2025, Rihanna made a court appearance on January 29, 2025, to attend the trial of A$AP Rocky on assault charges stemming from a 2021 altercation.
RiRi sat between Rocky's sister and mother in the court. A$AP Rocky's trial began on January 24, 2025, and the rapper faces two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm. As per the allegations, the rapper fired a gun at his close associate A$AP Relli, aka Terell "Relli" Ephron, during a 2021 incident that took place on the streets of Hollywood.
It is unlikely that the singer could be called to testify in the case. However, Los Angeles Superior Judge Mark Arnold asked Rocky's lawyers multiple times during jury selection to clarify the legal standing of the rapper's relationship with RiRi.
The Umbrella singer was also a point of discussion during the jury selection as prospective jurors were questioned if their neutrality in deciding the case would be affected by RiRi's presence at the trial.
A$AP Rocky pleaded not guilty to the charges and also dismissed a plea deal of 180 days in jail, stating that he used a prop gun during the altercation instead of an actual firearm. However, if the rapper is convicted of the charges, he could face up to 24 years in jail.
According to a report by Harpers Bazaar dated October 2024, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky first met in 2012 and remained friends with each other for years before getting involved in a romantic relationship in 2020. The couple shares two sons called RZA and Riot Rose.
