The spotlight is once again on A$AP Rocky, but this time, it’s for his upcoming felony assault trial. The rapper, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, is facing serious charges related to a 2022 incident involving a former friend, A$AP Relli. The case alleges that Rocky used a semiautomatic firearm during an altercation, a claim he has vehemently denied, pleading not guilty.
After over two years of anticipation, the trial is finally set to begin. Speaking to Extra, Rocky’s attorney, Joe Tacopina, shared how this case has weighed heavily on the rapper and his partner, global icon Rihanna. “It’s been a long time. It’s been over two years. Obviously, it’s been weighing over Rocky and Rihanna and their family. We’re anxious to get this thing underway and get this behind him and them,” Tacopina revealed.
But will Rihanna, a global superstar and mother to Rocky’s two children, have a role in the courtroom drama? According to Tacopina, the answer is no. The rapper is determined to protect Rihanna from the legal fray. “Rocky’s very protective of Rihanna and doesn’t want her anywhere near this proceeding,” he stated.
While the trial is expected to draw significant attention, the couple remains focused on their family and professional projects. Fans continue to show unwavering support, applauding their strength as they navigate this challenging chapter.
What’s next for A$AP Rocky and Rihanna? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure—their love and resilience remain at the heart of their story.
