Rihanna made it clear she wasn’t here for any drama when a reporter tried to ask A$AP Rocky about his former friend, A$AP Relli, during a public appearance after Rocky’s trial victory. The rapper had just been acquitted of felony assault charges related to a shooting incident in November 2021, where he was accused of firing a gun at Relli. As the press gathered, a reporter attempted to ask Rocky how he felt about Relli’s testimony, but Rihanna swiftly stepped in.
Holding up her hands and cutting off the question, Rihanna shot back, “How do you think it feels?” with a look that made it clear she wasn’t entertaining any unnecessary drama. Her quick response was a moment that showed just how protective she is of Rocky and how much she values keeping things positive and drama-free.
The trial had been a long ordeal for the couple, with Rocky facing serious allegations of pointing a gun at Relli and causing minor injuries. However, after the jury deliberated for less than a day, they found him innocent. In a moment of relief, Rocky embraced Rihanna tightly as the verdict was read, expressing gratitude for the jury’s decision and thanking God for the outcome.
Following the victory, support flooded in from across the hip-hop community, with Kanye West, 50 Cent, Papoose, and others congratulating the couple. Despite the past few years of uncertainty, A$AP Rocky and Rihanna emerged stronger than ever, united by the trial’s end and ready to move forward.
