In a powerful display of solidarity, Rihanna attended ASAP Rocky’s gun trial alongside their two children during the closing arguments. The pop icon was seen arriving at the courthouse in a sleek black leather jacket, carrying one child while another woman, accompanying her, held the other.

The family secured seats in the front row of the courtroom gallery, positioned near Rocky’s mother, Renee Black, as they quietly observed the proceedings.

Rihanna’s presence marks her second appearance in support of Rocky, following her earlier attendance last month. Despite the dynamics of the situation, the children—RZA and Riot—remained remarkably well-behaved, with one of them even keeping a book handy to stay occupied during the trial.

ASAP Rocky is on trial for allegedly assaulting his former friend ASAP Relli, with accusations that he pulled a gun and shot at him. Rocky has consistently denied these charges, with his defense insisting the gun in question was merely a prop. If convicted, he could face a potential 24-year prison sentence—a prospect that has heightened the stakes of the trial.

The courtroom drama reached a pivotal moment during the closing arguments, where District Attorney Paul Przelomiec questioned whether the gun used by Rocky was real or fake. Observers noted that Rihanna’s steadfast support, along with her calm and dignified presence, lent an air of resilience to the proceedings, as she continued to stand by Rocky despite the serious allegations he faces.
