Rihanna’s Unwavering Support for A$AP Rocky During His Shocking Trial Revealed!

BBG News

Rihanna stood firmly by her partner A$AP Rocky during his felony gun assault trial, as reported exclusively to Dailymail.com on Thursday.

37-year-old Rihanna, affectionately known as The Umbrella singer, exuded an undeniable sense of tranquility during her court appearance in Los Angeles, according to A$AP Rocky’s legal representative, Joe Tacopina, in a recent email interview.

According to Tacopina, she had been a strong source of support for Rocky throughout their trial, and this statement was made two days following the verdict on Tuesday, where the rapper was found not guilty.

Rihanna, mother of two kids with A$AP Rocky, clearly demonstrates a deep level of devotion and protection towards her cherished family, which includes Rocky, according to Tacopina.

After hearing the verdict, the nine-time Grammy recipient let out a noticeable breath of relief, knowing that A$AP Rocky could have been sentenced to serve up to 24 years behind bars if found guilty.

Following the verdict, a flood of emotions surfaced for her, as she wept, embraced Rocky, embraced me, and hugged Rocky’s family. Tacopina stated that she was incredibly grateful for our efforts and consistently showed appreciation and grace with me.

Rihanna maintains a humble demeanor despite her significant achievements in the entertainment and fashion industries, according to Tacopina, who shared this with Dailymail.com on Thursday. She is known for treating everyone with kindness, making those around her feel valued and important.

In her own words, attorney Tacopina, known for representing prominent figures including former President Donald J. Trump, baseball star Alex Rodriguez, and the iconic Michael Jackson, stated that when it comes to celebrities, Rihanna sparkles as brilliantly as a precious diamond.

Over the past three years, I’ve had the pleasure of getting acquainted with Rihanna, and let me assure you, she is undoubtedly one of the kindest, most authentic, and most down-to-earth superstars out there. (Tacopina shared this with Dailymail.com)

Through the challenging legal proceedings, Tacopina noted that Rihanna demonstrated exceptional character traits.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d express it this way: “I recently found myself echoing the heartfelt sentiments of another music icon, as a testament to my devotion for my partner A$AP Rocky. He’s been keen on safeguarding me from the pressures of this ongoing trial. I shared this update with reporters outside the courthouse yesterday.

According to Tacopina, he emphasized that he wanted to maintain a distance between the individual and her, as he felt it necessary to protect her. Essentially, his stance was in line with keeping her out of the ongoing proceedings, as the trial has no connection to Rihanna.

One time, she phoned me and told me, “Even if there were wild horses, they wouldn’t stop me,” referencing the famous song by The Rolling Stones from 1971.

According to Tacopina, Rihanna made sure she was there and demonstrated her solidarity with her partner when they needed it most.

As a devoted follower, I was informed by Tacopina that Rihanna had instructed me to convey the message to A$AP Rocky that she would be arriving and to handle the situation accordingly. Upon hearing this, I responded affirmatively.

In Los Angeles, outside the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center, Tacopina conversed with members of the media. It was here that Rihanna and A$AP Rocky rejoiced following the declaration of their ‘not guilty’ verdicts.

Last Tuesday, the jury came to a consensus regarding A$AP Rocky, whose genuine name is Rakim Mayers, approximately three hours after their deliberations began, following the completion of final statements in the trial a week ago.

Prior to his trial, the entertainer born in Harlem, New York, had rejected a proposal from the prosecution that included a six-month prison term and probation.

According to the AP, under the deal, A$AP Rocky would’ve needed to admit guilt for one charge in the case.

A$AP Rocky rejoiced over the decision alongside the S&M singer and their legal team, headed by Tacopina, both within the courthouse and outside afterward.

In this particular incident, it was stated by prosecutors that the performer allegedly fired two shots at his ex-friend A$AP Relli, who has a history dating back to high school with A$AP Rocky, being a member of the music group A$AP Mob together.

In the court case, A$AP Relli stated that he wasn’t seriously injured during the shooting, but a bullet did brush against his knuckle.

According to A$AP Rocky’s lawyers, the bullets he discharged were actually blank rounds from a prop gun he acquired for use in a music video production he was involved in, as reported by AP.

The court directed the jury to rule not guilty for A$AP Rocky, if they determined that he was acting in self-defense during the incident.

The Barbadian superstar singer and fashion entrepreneur often garnered interest as she attended games to back her partner, who is the father of their two kids – RZA (2 years old) and Riot Rose (1 year old).

On several occasions, Rihanna found herself sandwiched between A$AP Rocky’s mom, Renee Black, and his sister, Erika B. Mayers, during their outings together.

In a felony case, the musician known as Diamonds took his little ones to the court during the final statements.

The notable figure behind Fenty Beauty, the cosmetics company, frequently came up during attorney discussions about jury selection, due to rumors about how her influential persona might impact the jurors’ decisions.

After the decision was made, the jurors were guided out of the courtroom without speaking to the press upon leaving, according to AP. In his statement following the verdict, Tacopina expressed that the jurors had “penetrated through this illusion of a case” in their quick judgment.

The lawyer pointed out that the rapper refused the offer for minimal jail time, as he maintained his innocence.

Due to ASAP Rocky not wanting Rihanna attending his court hearing, Rihanna chose to secretly contact his attorney and expressed her determination by saying, “Even wild horses won’t stop me.” 💔💕

In a simpler way, John Lewin, the Deputy District Attorney, urged the jury during his final remarks to not consider or take into account the presence of Rihanna while evaluating the case at hand.

Lewin mentioned that he thought the SOS singer may have brought her children to the court hearings with the intention of influencing the jury to deliver a ‘not guilty’ verdict.

Lewin informed the jury, ‘It’s crucial not to ponder over potential impacts on Rihanna and her children. Instead, we must focus on the consequences of our individual actions within society.’

Yesterday, A$AP Rocky was over 30 minutes past his scheduled arrival for the verdict announcement, appearing visibly anxious and unsettled while waiting for the outcome according to Associated Press.

According to Tacopina, there was a point where it was uncertain whether he would spend the next twenty years in prison or return home, all before the clerk’s words were spoken.

Tacopina commented that A$AP Rocky’s enthusiastic, exuberant response upon learning he had been found not guilty was remarkably fantastic.

According to Tacopina, it came as a surprise to him just how athletic the individual was. That outburst of raw emotion, you witnessed, was truly something else. For us, it was simply mind-blowing.

The office of District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman shared an announcement on Instagram following the acquittal of A$AP Rocky.

Regarding today’s court ruling, it wasn’t the result we were hoping for, but we acknowledge the jury’s verdict and the importance of our justice system. Rest assured, our office will continue to strive for justice, holding accountable anyone who violates the law, regardless of their stature or connections.

Hochman stated that it’s inappropriate for Hollywood stars to demand leniency when they violate the law.

Hochman stated that no matter how famous someone is, they are still subject to the law. We will unwaveringly work towards justice for victims and the community. Our goal, which is crystal clear, is to enforce the law, safeguard public safety, and guarantee fairness for everyone.

A$AP Rocky, who has been releasing tracks like Highjack, Tailor Swift (likely a typo, meant to be “Tailor Made” or “Tailor-Made”), and Ruby Rosary, finds himself with a full schedule professionally now that his case has been wrapped up.

In a month from now, he is set to perform at the Rolling Loud music festival in Los Angeles. He shares the main stage with Playboi Carti and Peso Pluma as a headliner.

In just a few weeks, I can hardly contain my excitement! I’ve been chosen as a co-chair for the prestigious Met Gala, a place that’s held some of Rihanna’s most unforgettable moments. Can you believe it? I’m practically bursting with anticipation!

Additionally, you’ll see him in the upcoming Spike Lee film “Highest 2 Lowest” this summer. The film boasts a stellar cast led by Denzel Washington, with supporting roles filled by Jeffrey Wright, Dean Winters, and Ice Spice.
