Rihanna will always let A$AP Rocky stand under her umbrella.
The Fenty Beauty founder stepped out to support the "Sundress" rapper at his trial over 2022 assault charges in Los Angeles on Jan. 29.
For her appearance at Los Angeles Superior Court, Rihanna—who shares sons RZA Athelston, 2, and Riot Rose, 17 months, with A$AP—wore an all-black ensemble.
A$AP—whose real name is Rakim Mayers—is currently standing trial after being charged with two felony counts of assault in 2022 over an alleged altercation with his former friend Terell Ephron. During the 2021 incident, Terell—a member of A$AP's former music group A$AP Collective who releases music under the moniker A$AP Relli—alleged that the "Fashion Killa" rapper fired a handgun at him on a Hollywood sidewalk.
"You will hear that throughout their relationship there was tension between the two of them," Terell's lawyer Paul Przelomiec said during a Jan. 28 court appearance, per Associated Press, "and that tension was essentially building up to the night of Nov. 6, 2021."

As for A$AP, the 36-year-old denies the allegations and has pleaded not guilty to the charges, ABC News 7 reported. If he's convicted, he could face up to 24 years in prison, according to the outlet.
"This case is about one man's jealousy, lies and greed—and that man is not Rocky," A$AP's attorney Joe Tacopina said during his opening statement in court Jan. 28, per Associated Press. "This case is all about money. I've said it once, twice. I'll say it a few more times."

Of course, Rihanna's appearance during the trial should come as no surprise, as she's long been A$AP's biggest cheerleader. In fact, the "Needed Me" singer—who confirmed her romance with the rapper in 2019—previously got candid about why she will always prioritize him and their family of four.
"They bring purpose to every aspect of my life," Rihanna told E! News back in April. "Everything has to be intentional, and everything has to be worth it—especially when it takes me away from them."

After announcing they were expecting their first baby, Rihanna recalled keeping her pregnancy a secret from her friends. "It was harder for me to keep it from my posse, because they're around me, they know my habits," she told E!'s Justin Sylvester. "They're like, 'You don't want something to drink? You're not smoking?' And I'm eating all the things I'm not used to eating. They know I hate sweets and I'm all of a sudden asking for cookies and donuts. But finally, I just had to let it all out, and they were all shocked, of course, as the world was shocked as well."
