When jurors for A$AP Rocky's trial were selected, prosecutors asked whether his superstar partner Rihanna's connection, especially if she appeared in court, would sway their decision making. Nearly all had heard of her, but said it would not.
Rihanna has attended court for the first time in support of her partner A$AP Rocky - as his former friend gave evidence about the moment the star allegedly fired a gun in his direction. The superstar singer, who has two toddler sons with the rapper, sat next to his mother and sister, out of view of the Los Angeles criminal courtroom's cameras on Wednesday. Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, is on trial accused of firing a handgun at his former friend Terell Ephron, known as A$AP Relli.
Rocky allegedly fired the gun at him on a street in Hollywood in 2021. Giving evidence, Ephron said he had been shouting angrily at the rapper, who was walking away after an initial confrontation and a scuffle.
