Rihanna Attends A$AP Rocky's Court Hearing, Who Faces 24 Years in Prison

36-year-old singer Rihanna appeared at a court hearing in the case of her boyfriend, 36-year-old rapper A$AP Rocky (real name Rakim Mayers), who faces 24 years in prison.

Rihanna arrived to court earlier than most of the crowd. The singer wore a denim suit with a leather coat over it. During the hearing, she sat between her boyfriend's mother and sister. Rihanna will not testify, but jurors discussed how her presence in court could affect the outcome of the trial.

In 2021, A$AP Rocky was arrested for assaulting his former friend with a weapon. The artist was released on bail, but the case was not resolved. The victim, Terell Efron, claims that he had an argument with Rakim Myers, after which he brought a gun to a personal meeting and pointed it at Terell. After A$AP Rocky, according to Terell, shot him twice. Myers' lawyers deny this, and he himself did not say anything during the hearing. Following the hearing, prosecutors asked for seven years in prison or three years of probation and 180 days in jail for the rapper - if he pleads guilty. After the hearing, A$AP Rocky and Rihanna left together.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky began dating in 2021. They are parents to two sons, RZA and Riot. The couple often appears in public and enjoys the attention of the paparazzi.
