The Growing Courtroom Tension
Relli, who claims he was shot at by Rocky in 2021, voiced his frustration after his social media was brought into the conversation.
“Why are you showing my Instagram? I’m already getting death threats,” Reli complained under oath. “(People) threatening my daughter, like, what’s going on here?…Because you’re saying I’m an extortionist. You putting my whole life on…This is getting really annoying. What does this have to do with the case?”

Rihanna, who dressed sharply in a white button-up shirt, black tie, and slacks, appeared all-business while keeping a close eye on the proceedings. She also accessorized with some black pumps and a pair of gold hoop earrings, but sources say she’s deeply stressed over the situation.
“This has been hanging over them for all these years, but now the trial is here and it’s showtime,” an insider told RadarOnline. “Publicly, Rihanna is putting on a brave front. But behind the scenes she is freaking out.”

The couple shares two young children, and friends are now questioning how their relationship would fare if Rocky is sentenced to prison.
With the trial finally underway after multiple delays, Rihanna’s support has been steadfast, but sources speculate that if he is convicted, she could reevaluate her commitment to him.
“She says she would stick by her man, that they’re in love, and that she’s very much committed to him, but friends say having a felon for a lover wouldn’t sit well with her when push comes to shove,” the source said.
They went on to add, So much is riding on (the trial) as far as Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s future goes. They have never really had the test of prison time, and there’s no telling how he’ll react if the judge rules against him.”
