Rihanna attends A$AP Rocky firearm-assault trial as ex-friend says he ‘was hit’
As Rihanna sits out of view of court cameras, A$AP Relli speaks about moment Rocky allegedly fired gun at him
Rihanna has made her first appearance at the Los Angeles trial of her partner, the rapper A$AP Rocky.
The singer-superstar on Wednesday morning sat out of view of the courtroom’s cameras, next to Rocky’s mother and sister in the downtown Los Angeles criminal courthouse. Security brought her into the courtroom surreptitiously to avoid crowds.
Rocky has been standing trial on two felony charges that he fired a handgun at a former friend, known by the name A$AP Relli, who testified on Wednesday about the moment Rocky allegedly fired a gun at him on a Hollywood street in 2021.
“I was hit. I was hit. Or I was grazed. I didn’t have a hole or nothing,” Relli told jurors.
Relli, born Terell Ephron, said he grabbed one of their mutual friends who was with Rocky after the first shot was fired and stood behind him for protection. He said he did not see Rocky fire the second shot, and Rocky ran away moments later.
