Rihanna & A$AP Rocky
She’s ‘Considering’ Court Support
As Trial’s Set to Resume
Published
Rihanna is contemplating how best to support A$AP Rocky during his ongoing criminal trial, sources have revealed to TMZ.
Insiders familiar with the situation have disclosed that RiRi is giving serious thought to attending the Los Angeles courtroom where Rocky is currently standing trial for the alleged 2022 shooting of A$AP Relli.
Rihanna’s potential presence in the courtroom could have significant implications. As a prominent celebrity and the mother of Rocky’s two children, her influence could resonate with the jury.
TMZ initially reported that Rihanna played a crucial role in the jury selection process. Prospective jurors were asked about their fondness for the singer and whether they had purchased any of her Fenty products.
Although legally her presence should not sway the proceedings, both the prosecution and Rocky’s attorney, Joe Tacopina, acknowledge the potential impact she could have on the jury’s perception.
A$AP Rocky is currently facing two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and has pleaded not guilty. Following opening statements last Friday, the trial is scheduled to resume on Tuesday.
While Rihanna is not expected to be present in court tomorrow, there is a possibility she may attend later in the week to show her support for Rocky.
If convicted, A$AP Rocky could face up to 24 years in state prison. Given the stakes, any form of support, including Rihanna’s potential involvement, could prove to be invaluable for Rocky’s defense.
