A$AP Rocky and Rihanna had an emotional moment of celebration after the rapper was found not guilty on February 18 of two counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm. The charges stemmed from a 2021 argument with former bandmate Terell Ephron, also known as A$AP Relli.
When the verdict was read, Rocky (real name Rakim Mayers) immediately turned toward Rihanna, who was seated in the front row of the courtroom. Beaming with joy, he raised his arm in triumph, leaped over the courtroom railing, and embraced Rihanna as she smiled and hugged him tightly. The moment, filled with cheers and excitement, highlighted the couple’s unbreakable bond.
After sharing the heartfelt embrace, Rocky rejoined his legal team to hear the remainder of the verdict. The celebration continued with hugs and smiles as the relief of the trial’s outcome set in.
Rihanna, who attended the February 13 closing arguments with their children—RZA Athelston, 2, and Riot Rose, 18 months—took to Instagram to express her gratitude. “THE GLORY BELONGS TO GOD AND GOD ALONE!” she wrote in an Instagram Story. “THANKFUL, HUMBLED BY HIS MERCY!”
Rocky also marked the occasion on social media, tweeting, “DON’T BE DUMB” on February 18. The phrase is believed to hint at his long-awaited album, originally slated for release in August 2024, which fans now eagerly anticipate.
This courtroom victory is just another milestone in Rocky and Rihanna’s lives together. As they navigate parenthood and their thriving careers, Rihanna has shared that their daily life as a family brings her immense joy.
