Rihanna arrives to support A$AP Rocky in court as he faces 24 years in prison on gun charges
RIHANNA has come to support her partner A$AP Rocky during his illegal firearms trial, where he could be imprisoned for up to 24 years.
The U.S. Sun revealed that the superstar sneaked into the courtroom in downtown Los Angeles on Wednesday morning.
A source told The U.S. Sun that Rihanna arrived in a blacked-out SUV at approximately 9:49 a.m., encountered two security personnel who attempted to disorient everyone, and then left the court by a side corridor.
“They got into her car in the basement parking lot, and she entered the court covertly using a hidden elevator without ever using the main hallway.
Rocky’s mother and sister were seated close to Rihanna in the front row of the courtroom.
Rocky, whose true name is Rakim Mayer, is charged with many shootings of his pal A$AP Relli during a 2021 standoff in Hollywood.

On Tuesday night, the famous couple was pictured out on a date night in Los Angeles.
Following a reference to the fashion star during jury selection, Rihanna made her court appearance.
In order to influence their decisions, prospective jurors were asked if they were fans of the singer or her products.
When Rocky reportedly pulled a revolver on him, A$AP Relli, whose real name is Terell Ephron, told the jury that he was “furious” and shocked.
Relli said, “I told him to use it.”
