Rihanna Shows Up in Court to Support ASAP Rocky During Trial

Rihanna made an appearance in court in Los Angeles on Wednesday to support her partner ASAP Rocky, who is currently on trial for alleged assault with a semiautomatic firearm.

Per Rolling Stone’s Nancy Dillon, Rihanna, though briefly expected to not be making an appearance on Wednesday after Rocky was seen entering court without her, was seated next to Rocky’s mother. SoCal-based independent repoter Meghann Cuniff, meanwhile, added that Rihanna was also sitting with Rocky’s sister.

On the eve of Wednesday’s court appearance, RiRi was seen alongside Rocky, with whom she shares two children, during a night out in the Los Angeles area.

In the case, Rocky is accused of firing a gun at ex-friend Terell Ephron, previously known under the moniker ASAP Relli. Police say the incident occurred in November 2021, with an LAPD press release shared the following April alleging that it began as “an argument between two acquaintances” in the Hollywood area.

“Discharging a gun in a public place is a serious offense that could have ended with tragic consequences not only for the person targeted but also for innocent bystanders visiting Hollywood,” Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón later said in his own statement on the accusations against Rocky.

Rocky has maintained his innocence in the case, last week rejecting a would-be plea deal.
