Singer Rihanna was seen in New York City sporting a new hairstyle while legal proceedings involving her partner, A$AP Rocky, continued. The judge in Rocky's gun assault case questioned the couple's marital status during a hearing, revealing the complexities surrounding their relationship. Meanwhile, A$AP Rocky's trial is scheduled to begin soon, with both sides preparing for a potentially lengthy court battle.
Rihanna made a stylish appearance in New York City on Thursday, showcasing a new look that included long black cornrows cascading down her back. The 36-year-old singer was spotted leaving the Target retail store wearing a simple black hoodie and sweatpants. She accessorized with black-framed glasses, a makeup-free face, and a Louis Vuitton Speedy handbag.
This public appearance follows a day of legal proceedings in A$AP Rocky's gun assault case, where the judge questioned the marital status of the power couple. \Judge Mark S. Arnold inquired about how to address Rihanna, suggesting 'common-law wife.' Rocky's attorney, Joe Tacopina, responded simply, 'Just wife, your honor.' When the judge pressed further about legal marriage, Tacopina replied, 'I don't know.' The prosecution, represented by Deputy District Attorney John Lewin, stated their preference to call them 'partners or significant others' during the trial if legally unmarried. The judge agreed to this designation.\The charges against Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, stem from a November 2021 incident in Hollywood involving fellow rapper Terell Ephron, also known as A$AP Relli. Ephron was a member of the ASAP Mob, a rap collective that Rocky co-founded in Harlem, New York, in 2006. The prosecution alleges that during an argument, Rocky brandished a handgun at Ephron and fired it twice, injuring his hand. Ephron testified that Rocky pointed the gun at his stomach, uttering threats before firing.\Rocky's defense attorney, Tacopina, has challenged the prosecution's case, claiming insufficient evidence of a shooting and deeming the surveillance footage and witness testimony 'inconclusive.' He stated that Rocky is eager to tell his side of the story. Despite attempts at a plea deal, Rocky will proceed to trial on January 21, facing two felony charges of assault with a semiautomatic firearm. If convicted, he could face up to 24 years in prison
