Rihanna publicly reacts to ASAP Rocky's not guilty verdict in felony assault trial

Rihanna is feeling "thankful" after A$AP Rocky was found not guilty in his felony assault trial.

The 36-year-old pop star has been in a relationship with A$AP, also 36, since 2020 and he had been accused of shooting his former friend Terrell Ephron during an altercation near a hotel almost four years ago but after he was acquitted on Tuesday (18.02.25), Rihanna took to social media to share here relief.

She wrote on Instagram: "The Glory belongs to God and God alone. Thankful, humbled by his mercy."

During the trial, Ephron had claimed that the Grammy Award-winning rapper - whose real name is Rakim Mayers - had opened fire on him and grazed his knuckles in the process, but A$AP denied the charges throughout.

Mayers had been facing up to 24 years in prison, but the 12-person jury found him not guilty, almost a month after the trial began in late January.

The 'Umbrella' hitmaker - who has RZA, two and Riot, 18 months with A$AP - was seated behind her partner as the verdict was read out.

He said: "Thank God for saving my life."
