Rihanna couldn’t hide her joy after her partner, A$AP Rocky, was acquitted of two felony assault charges on Tuesday. The rapper, who had been facing accusations stemming from a 2021 shooting incident in Los Angeles, embraced Rihanna in a heartfelt moment after the jury declared him not guilty.
The music and fashion mogul later took to Instagram to share her reaction, posting a message of gratitude: “The Glory belongs to God and God alone. Thankful, humbled by His mercy!”
Rihanna also reflected on her journey with A$AP Rocky, sharing how their bond grew from friendship into love. The two had been in the same creative circles for years, supporting each other’s brands before taking things further in late 2019.
“COVID sped up our relationship, which I felt like God knew we needed because we were going to start a family,” she said. “Had it not been for COVID, we would’ve taken a lot more time to get comfortable with each other.”
Meanwhile, A$AP Rocky himself reacted to the verdict with a cryptic yet confident post on X (formerly Twitter), simply writing “Don’t Be Dumb”—a nod to his long-awaited album of the same name.
With this chapter behind them, the couple can now focus on their growing family and thriving careers, leaving the courtroom drama in the past.
