Rihanna appears at A$AP Rocky’s trial – what to know about the case

Pop star Rihanna appeared in a Los Angeles courtroom on Wednesday as her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, continued his trial on assault charges.

The singer, who shares two children with the rapper, sat in the courtroom with A$AP Rocky’s family as the trial delved into allegations that he pulled a gun out on his former friend and opened fire multiple times.

The trial started on Friday and will determine whether the rapper will face penalties on two charges of felony assault. He could face decades in prison.

A$AP Rocky has pleaded not guilty to the charges and his lawyers have argued the weapon was a prop gun and his former friend is only after money.
