The rap artist A$AP Rocky has filed a not-guilty plea for felony assault with a firearm charge
brought against him in connection with an incident in Hollywood last year.
A lot has happened since then, and events are beginning to unfold
one after the other. One includes a well-known singer and A$AP's significant other, Rihanna,
who finally decided to speak about A$AP Rocky's shooting tragedy.
The man in question has gained quite a reputation over the years.
Known as a participant in the hip-hop ensemble known as A$AP Mob, A$AP is a Harlem resident.
He became famous after Drake advocated for him and has collaborated with several notable musicians,
including Alicia Keys, Lana Del Rey, Skepta, Selena Gomez, and Kendrick Lamar, among others.
Later, he met Rihanna, with whom he is involved in a romantic relationship. The previous year,
he unequivocally stated that he was romantically involved with Rihanna, referring to her as "the
love of my life" and "the one." Although for Rihanna, she wants to keep things platonic.
However, despite that statement, she is now anticipating the birth of her and Rocky's
child in May. Additionally, both have garnered as much attention for setting fashion trends
as they have for their musical contributions. While Rakim Mayers, Rocky's genuine name, in
case you did not know, is genuinely excited about becoming an actual dad for the first time in his
life in May to a daughter with the singer Rihanna is not. More specifically, the Grammy winner
doesn't even want to consider her son's father's potential to face a long time of imprisonment.
And honestly, we can't blame her. According to the authorities, Mayers and two other guys ran
away when the shooter discharged his revolver. On April 20, police took him into custody for the
incident at Los Angeles International Airport, but he was released the same day after posting bail.
On Monday, sources reported that the rapper is now facing charges of assault involving
a handgun by the district attorney's office in Los Angeles. There are some alleged statements
that he used a firearm in the commission of two separate acts of assault, each of which
involved the use of a semiautomatic handgun. On Wednesday, he pleaded that he was not guilty
to two charges of assault with a semiautomatic handgun. And because of it, the judge ordered
him to appear in court again on November 2. The judge in charge of the case at the Los Angeles
Superior Court, Victoria B. Wilson, issued an order telling the rapper to avoid the ex-friend.
"Discharging a gun in a public area is a grave and serious offense. And it could have ended
with tragic consequences for the targeted individual and the other innocent bystanders
visiting Hollywood," district attorney George Gascon said. "My office conducted a thorough
and rigorous review of the evidence in this case and determined that they warranted the
extra addition of a special firearm allegation." Despite all this, A$AP Rocky's approaching court
case doesn't appear to affect him. He and his girlfriend Rihanna have been spotted in public
many times in the recent past. Additionally, rocky has been seen out and about with Rihanna recently,
despite the serious charges and lengthy jail term he is currently facing.
On Friday, sources observed the couple in New York Metropolis together, smiling and joking
as they made their way around the city. They were pictured together a few days later as they exited
a plane in Los Angeles while a security team member carried their son to the waiting car.
Backgrid was the one who captured the photographs of them alighting from the plane on Sunday.
In anticipation of A$AP Rocky's forthcoming court case, Rihanna is doing everything she can to "stay
cool." According to one source: "They've finally set a hearing for Rocky. And there's a schedule
for it to be later this month. And she is doing everything in her power to keep a level head.
Nevertheless, it is understandable that she is feeling stressed out given everything happening.
Anyone else in her situation would naturally feel the same way."
"Rihanna couldn't begin to imagine life without A$AP around. And she does not even want to begin
thinking about any of that," adds the insider. "She's extremely anxious and genuinely wishes
that this whole thing would finally be over. To her, it seems their son has an emotional need for
his father to be involved in his life, and he is not prepared to think about what their potential
future would be like if Rocky had to leave at this stage if he is unable to. Despite this, she
is trying everything in her power to maintain her composure for the sake of herself and Rocky. To be
fair, she wants what is best for her child. Rocky can count on her support during this journey, and
she hopes everything will work out for the best." However, this event isn't the first time A$AP has
faced criminal charges. After the altercation in Sweden in July 2019, he was taken into custody
and imprisoned without bail. Nevertheless, Rihanna is "hopeful" that this matter will settle itself
swiftly so that they can move on, according to a second person who is close to the singer. "Even
though Rocky has reassured her that everything would turn out okay, the situation is still very
worrisome. Rihanna has faith in Rocky and trusts him, but the allegations against him are severe,
and when it comes to the legal system, you never know for sure what will happen. Therefore,
it is difficult to not worry about it. But regardless of the outcome, one thing that can
be said with absolute certainty is that Rihanna will be by Rocky's side the entire time; she has
his back and will support him no matter what." Fans were pleasantly delighted with Rihanna's
boundary-pushing maternity style throughout her pregnancy. Now, only a few months after
giving birth, the 34-year-old demonstrates that becoming a mother would not prohibit
her from going out on a date with her partner while wearing a stunning dress.
Many people have already witnessed the couple returning to the public eye,
with the founder of Fenty Beauty cheering on the rapper at various festivals worldwide and
the new parents donning similar navy costumes for another recent evening out on the town together.
Recently, sources caught Rihanna and Rocky in their usual hangout in New York City,
where the former sported stylish thigh-high boots from Y/Project that easily might have
made a mistake for jeans. Additionally, rocky wore a pair of Yeezy Boost 350 V2 sneakers.
Even though the shoes were the most eye-catching part of the Barbadian starlet's ensemble,
the paparazzi nevertheless took pictures of the rest of her outfit, which included a little black
skirt and a concert t-shirt featuring RZA, and a bag made of green snakeskin.
Rihanna used black sunglasses, enormous silver hoops, and layered chains around her neck as
her choice of accessories for this look. As for A$AP, the "Distorted Records" musician,
he rocked a pair of light wash faded jeans with sneakers,
a white graphic shirt layered underneath a brown and green flannel, and a purple hat
that he pulled over his head backward. An insider told Us Weekly that Rihanna
and A$AP Rocky "rarely leave their baby's side," even though the couple makes it a
point to get some time to themselves and to spend some time away from the house.
"They are so secretive about their new baby because they are worried about his well-being
and because they truly want want to keep him hidden from the eyes of the public for
the time being... They are both really thankful and couldn't be happier with
how things have turned out," they continued. At this point, the only thing anyone can do about
the situation is wait because some items still haven't revealed themselves. Speaking of waiting,
