Rihanna Supports A$AP Rocky at Assault Trial in LA

Rihanna made a supportive appearance at the Los Angeles trial of her partner, A$AP Rocky, who faces two felony assault charges related to an alleged 2021 shooting incident involving former friend A$AP Relli. Dressed in black, Rihanna sat in court beside Rocky's family, as the trial nears its conclusion with closing arguments expected soon. A$AP Rocky, who has pleaded not guilty, could face up to 24 years in prison if convicted, having turned down a plea deal that would have resulted in a significantly lighter sentence. Relli testified that Rocky pointed a gun at him during a confrontation, while Rocky's defense claims he was using a prop gun and argues that Relli's accusations are motivated by jealousy and greed. The trial has highlighted the challenges of jury selection, particularly due to Rihanna's high-profile status. Surveillance footage presented in court reportedly shows Rocky drawing a gun but does not conclusively prove the shooting allegations.
