While A$AP Rocky may be the one who’s currently on trial, all eyes have now shifted to his girlfriend Rihanna. And the reason why should come as no surprise.
As we’ve previously told you, the “Peso” rapper is facing charges of two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm stemming from a shooting incident that happened in Hollywood back in 2021. He’s alleged to have harmed former A$AP mob member Terrell Ephron, aka A$AP Relli who claims he was shot atseveral times, though he only suffered a graze wound on his knuckles.
However, when local authorities arrived, they didn’t find any evidence of the crime occurring. Thankfully, surveillance video caught by a nearby security camera allegedly captured the entire ordeal. If convicted, Rocky could be face up to 24 years in prison.
But, before we figure out if he’s going to be behind bars, he has to finish his trial. And the question looming on everybody’s mind is whether or not Rihanna will make her grand appearance come Wednesday in support of him.
Now, according to insiders who spoke to TMZ on Tuesday, it looks like the “bad gal” will indeed be showing up at the courthouse which begs the question of how big of a media frenzy will ensue when she arrives. Sources with direct knowledge also told the outlet that she’s set to sit in the gallery section with regular folks.
We’re not sure how that looks to have one of the world’s biggest music stars sitting in a courtroom where her boyfriend is on trial. This also makes us curious as to what role her presence could play on the jurors present, but we’ll see how all this plays out soon.
