Rihanna didn’t hold back when she shut down a reporter’s question following A$AP Rocky’s trial victory.
The billionaire singer and beauty mogul, who has been a source of unwavering support for Rocky during the trial, made it clear she wasn’t here for any unnecessary drama. As cameras rolled, the journalist attempted to question A$AP Rocky about his feelings towards former friend ASAP Relli (Terell Ephron), who testified against him. However, Rihanna swiftly put the reporter in their place.
Rocky faced two felony counts of assault with a firearm stemming from a November 2021 incident in Hollywood, California. Prosecutors alleged Rocky pointed a gun at Relli and shot at him, causing minor injuries. While on the stand, Relli testified that Rocky threatened to kill him and pointed a gun at his stomach and head. Rocky’s defense team argued that Relli was lying and seeking a payday, claiming the gun was a prop used for a music video.
The jury deliberated for less than a day before reaching the not guilty verdict, acquitting the rapper of all charges.
