Rihanna and A$AP Rocky celebrate not guilty verdict with late Beverly Hills dinner after she thanks God for ‘mercy’
RIHANNA and A$AP Rocky have stepped out to celebrate his not guilty verdict.
Heading out for a late-night dinner in Beverly Hills together, the couple were all smiles after A$AP Rocky, real name Rakim Athelaston Mayers, was found not guilty of shooting a former friend.
The happy parents, who share RZA Athelaston Mayers, two, and Riot Rose Mayers, one, were spotted as they headed out for dinner.
The loved up couple headed to Gravitas Social Club in Beverly Hills for a night of celebrations.
Gravitas is a private members’ club which offers “impeccable service, unparalleled culinary experiences, and curated amenities”.
A spousal membership at Gravitas costs $7,500 each year, with an additional initiation fee of $2,500 when joining.
The couple were dressed to the nines, with Rihanna rocking some baggy pants with a gray pinstripe shirt tucked in.
She completed the look with a blazer over the top, some reading glasses and a bold red lip.
Meanwhile, A$AP, who no longer faces 24 years behind bars, rocked a navy blue suit with a matching overcoat draped over his shoulders.
The couple wore the same outfits earlier on in the day as they left the court following the rapper’s not guilty verdict.
This comes after the rapper was accused of shooting his former friend after an altercation in Hollywood in 2021, with him enduring a trial over the last couple of weeks.
EMOTIONAL EMBRACE
When the not guilty verdict was read this week, A$AP, 36, hugged his partner Rihanna, also 36, in an emotional moment in the gallery.
“Thank y’all for saving my life,” the rapper said.
Rihanna then broke her silence on her partner’s not guilty verdict, with the singer expressing how “thankful” she was.
“The glory belongs to God and God alone! Thankful, humbled by his mercy,” she penned on her Instagram stories.
A$AP’s not guilty verdict comes after he endured a two-week-long trial.
