After A$AP Rocky’s acquittal in the highly publicized trial, Rihanna shared a photo on her Instagram Stories, revealing that she was “humbled.” She wrote in the note that “the glory belongs to God and God alone” before announcing she is “thankful” for her partner’s not guilty verdict. The Fenty Beauty founder, who shares sons RZA and Riot Rose with A$AP Rocky, exhibited unwavering support by attending court proceedings.
A$AP Rocky, real name Rakim Mayers, faced two felony counts of assault in connection with a 2021 shooting case. The BBC mentioned that a former friend, Terell Ephron, accused Mayers of firing shots at him over an argument. However, Mayers denied the allegations, claiming it was a prop gun and alleging that Ephron, who goes by A$AP Relli, had financial motives. The two had known each other since high school and the alleged incident occurred on November 6 not far from the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
A$AP Rocky’s acquittal on both counts came on Tuesday, following which he embraced Rihanna inside the courtroom. In addition, he thanked the jury for “saving my life” following the not-guilty verdict and later addressed reporters outside the venue, describing the four-year-long ordeal as a “crazy” experience. As per AP News, he further claimed that he was “thankful” and felt “blessed to be here right now to be a free man talking to y’all.”
Days before, Rihanna shared a heartfelt Instagram post for A$AP Rocky on Valentine’s Day with a naughty and nice video. In the caption, she mentioned, “Get u a valentine that still writes love letters.”
