A night out at Hollywood’s San Vicente Bungalows saw the singer, 35, cut a dazzling figure. The previous day, her partner had appeared in court to hear a former band member recount how the star almost murdered him in a hail of gunfire. The singer and Rocky, 35, are parents to two sons together.
For her night out, Rihanna wore a long camel coat, patterned pants, a grey hoodie, and snakeskin heels.
While chatting with friends, she did not smile, knowing that Rocky could spend up to eight years in prison if found guilty.
On Thursday, Rocky went out by himself. He was wearing trousers and a denim jacket.
Amid his court battle, the artist appeared solemn as he strolled down the street.
Terell Ephron, a fellow member of the A$AP Mob, testified in court on Wednesday that on November 6, 2021, Mayers, 35, threatened to murder him before firing at least four shots in his direction. Rocky, actual name Rakim Mayers, heard this testimony.
At the preliminary hearing, Ephron described how their friendship soured as Mayers’s career took off and other members of the group were left behind.
Mayers summoned him to a meeting at a hotel in Los Angeles the night of the shooting, when they quarreled until Mayers drew a gun on him, according to TMZ.
Ephron remembered him saying, “I’ll kill you right now,” as Mayers put a gun to his stomach and then started shooting as he fled the room.
A single bullet struck him in the hand, but it took until the next day for Ephron to find the strength to report the incident, and as a result, the rapper’s arrest warrant was issued.
After arriving back at LAX airport on a private flight from Barbados, where he had been vacationing with his then-pregnant fiancée, Mayers was apprehended in April of last year.
Police were also observed outside his Los Angeles residence, using a battering ram to break through the gate before it appeared like they were conducting a raid. Several evidence boxes were taken from the home by detectives.
