Singer and billionaire Rihanna has finally reacted after her partner, A$AP Rocky, was found not guilty in an assault case. A Los Angeles jury ruled that the rapper did not commit assault with a semiautomatic weapon.
Rocky was facing two felony charges over a 2021 incident involving his former childhood friend, Terell Ephron, also known as A$AP Relli. If convicted, he could have been sentenced to up to 24 years in prison.
When the verdict was announced, Rihanna was seen in tears. Rocky immediately went to hug his family, including Rihanna, and also embraced his lawyer, Joe Tacopina.
Rihanna later shared her feelings on Instagram, writing, “The glory belongs to God and God alone! Thankful, humbled by His mercy.”
This verdict brings relief to the rapper and his supporters, as he can now move forward without the fear of prison time.
