A$AP Rocky Acquitted; Rihanna Defends Partner After Verdict

Following A$AP Rocky's acquittal of felony assault charges, Rihanna defended him after a reporter asked an insensitive question about his former friend, A$AP Relli, outside the courthouse. When asked how it felt to lose his childhood best friend, Rihanna sharply responded, 'How do you think it feels?' while gesturing dismissively. The couple celebrated the not guilty verdict, which could have led to a 24-year prison sentence for Rocky, with emotional moments in the courtroom, including Rihanna breaking down in tears. Rocky thanked God and the jury before expressing relief outside the courthouse. Rihanna later shared her gratitude on Instagram, stating, 'The glory belongs to God and to God alone.' Despite the legal victory, Rocky still faces a civil lawsuit from Relli.
