Rihanna and her baby daddy, A$AP Rocky, celebrated his legal victory with a celebratory dinner in Beverly Hills.
The special outing echoes a similar post-legal-battle appearance by Jay-Z and Beyoncé, who were all smiles after a lawsuit against the music mogul was dismissed.
Although A$AP Rocky’s assault trial began in January 2025, the case had been a long time coming. The alleged events between the rapper and his former friend happened in Hollywood in 2021.

Rocky expressed sincere gratitude to those who offered congratulations on his acquittal. When asked about his feelings following the trial’s conclusion, Rocky simply stated, “Amazing,” showing the depth of his relief.
TMZ reports that after their dinner, the couple was unfazed by the swarm of paparazzi. They gracefully made their way to their waiting SUV and departed, concluding their celebratory evening.
The Rapper Is Free To Focus On Film And Met Gala Duties
Rocky can now breathe a sigh of relief after a jury found him not guilty on charges stemming from a 2021 incident. The artist had been accused of firing a weapon during an altercation with a former associate in Hollywood.
The dramatic verdict, delivered late Tuesday afternoon, clears Rocky’s name and allows him to move forward without the weight of the legal proceedings.
With this legal hurdle behind him, Rocky has a busy year ahead. Two new films featuring the entrepreneur are set to be released, giving him ample opportunity to showcase his talent on the big screen.
Beyond his movie projects, Rocky will play a prominent role in the upcoming Met Gala. He has been selected as a co-chair of the event’s board alongside Pharrell Williams, Anna Wintour, Colman Domingo, and Lewis Hamilton.
Jay-Z And Beyoncé Took The Lead With Beverly Hills Acquittal Celebration
Rocky and Rihanna were not the only celebrity couple to celebrate a legal win publicly; another high-profile pair did the same not long ago. TMZ reported that this week, Jay-Z and Beyoncé made their first public appearance since a lawsuit against the rapper was dismissed.
The lovebirds dined at the renowned Italian restaurant Cipriani in Beverly Hills on Sunday night. Beyoncé’s platinum blonde hair, skirt, and black blazer made a striking impression, while Jay-Z sported his signature all-black outfit and beanie.
The dismissed lawsuit contained accusations from an anonymous woman who claimed Jay-Z and Diddy sexually assaulted her when she was a minor. Ultimately, the unnamed woman voluntarily dismissed her lawsuit against the music stars in federal court, bringing the legal matter to a close.
