In a dramatic courtroom moment, Rihanna sat quietly as her partner, A$AP Rocky, faced testimony from the man accusing him of a Hollywood shooting. The global superstar, dressed discreetly, entered the Los Angeles courthouse through a back entrance on January 29, 2025, avoiding media attention as she took a seat beside Rocky’s family.
The case revolves around an alleged altercation in November 2021, in which former A$AP Mob member Terell Ephron, known as A$AP Relli, claims Rocky fired a semi-automatic handgun at him during a heated dispute on a Hollywood street. On the witness stand, Ephron described his shock and fear, saying he was “furious and flabbergasted” when Rocky allegedly pulled the weapon. Prosecutors argue that surveillance footage and text messages support Ephron’s claims.
Rocky’s defense team insists the allegations are baseless, arguing that no physical evidence proves a shooting took place. They claim the firearm in question was a prop gun used to break up a fight and that Ephron fabricated the story for financial gain. If convicted, Rocky faces up to 24 years in prison.
Throughout the testimony, Rihanna remained expressionless, listening intently. She has not publicly commented on the case, but her presence in court speaks volumes about her support for Rocky. The trial is ongoing, with more witnesses expected to take the stand in the coming days.
