Rihanna commanded attention as she attended the final stages of A$AP Rocky’s gun trial, bringing a personal touch by including their young sons, RZA and Riot. Her presence added emotional support during an intense time.
The trial began on January 24 and concluded almost three weeks later. Rihanna had been a supportive figure throughout, but February 13 marked the first time her children were present in court, sitting alongside Rocky’s mother in a united front.
The case paints a vivid picture with accusations that Rocky fired a gun at ex-A$AP Mob member A$AP Relli. The central debate is whether the weapon was real or merely a prop. This distinction could mean the difference between a maximum 24-year sentence or a recommended eight to ten years.
Rocky has pleaded self-defense, claiming he felt threatened. The law allows this defense if it seems Rocky genuinely believed there was a risk of harm. This detail could sway the jury significantly.
Throughout the proceedings, Rocky chose not to testify, confident in the witness accounts provided by his fellow A$AP Mob members like A$AP Lou and A$AP Twelvyy, who supported his version of the shooting incident.
A notable moment came when Twelvyy was questioned about AWGE, Rocky’s label’s secretive initials. Despite pressure, Twelvyy maintained silence, honoring the label’s code of secrecy. Rocky’s interjection during this moment highlighted the tension and loyalty within their circle.
The trial awaits the jury’s verdict, leaving Rocky and his supporters on edge.
