Rihanna Wows In Skimpy Sequinned Bikini As She Hugs A$AP Rocky Just Hours Before His Arrest
The man had been arrested for a November 2021 shooting incident.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky went on a vacation break after rumors of a breakup. The 34-year-old was seen flaunting her bump and chatting up with her friends and family in a scarlet bikini while the rapper was racing on a jet ski nearby.
The 33-year-old was previously rumored to have cheated on heavily pregnant Rihanna with shoe designer Amina Muaddi, who later broke up with him in a restaurant before walking out alone, crying.
Rihanna, who was spotted on her beach getaway, was wearing a $270 red sequinned bikini paired with Oséree’s $235 wrap skirt.
But sources quickly shut down the rumors, emphasizing both the cheating and breakup rumors were false.
Amina, who’s also a friend of Rihanna and worked with her in one of her releases, quickly clarified the situation, “I’ve always believed that an unfounded lie spread on social media doesn’t deserve any response or clarification, especially one that is so vile. I initially assumed that this fake gossip — fabricated with such malicious intent — would not be taken seriously.”
“However, in the last 24h I’ve been reminded that we live in a society that is so quick to speak on topics regardless of factual basis and that nothing is off-limits. Not even during what should be one of the most beautiful and celebrated times in one’s life.”
“Therefore I have to speak up as this is not only directed towards me, but it is related to people I have a great amount of respect and affection for. While Rih is continuing to live her serene, best-dressed pregnancy life and I go back to my business — I wish everyone a beautiful Easter weekend!”
Rihanna enjoyed her time off with friends and her mother, Monica. The inclusive lingerie brand owner seemed relaxed while overlooking her husband, who wore casually on the jet ski.
The two who just came back from their break had to go yet through another shocking turn of events as Rakim Mayers – the real name of the 33-year-old rapper – was arrested right after landing at LAX airport.
The partner to the Savage x Fenty founder was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon (firearm).
Reports say A$AP Rocky and two of his friends approached a man he was acquainted with on the streets at night and showered bullets on the man. But he only sustained a minor hand injury from being grazed by a bullet.
LAPD worked together with ICE and Homeland Security Investigations to arrest the man, news that was later confirmed by Mayers’s lawyer, Alan Jackson. Rihanna also reportedly watched as her partner was being taken away by the authorities.
The situation has also since escalated, per TMZ’s reports that the police had also broken into their house on a search warrant with a battering ram.
A $550,000 bail was posted, and he left the jail on Wednesday evening. He can still be convicted, and in the case he is, the rapper is facing up to one year of prison time, a $1000 fine, and misdemeanor probation. In 2019, A$AP Rocky was already arrested for assault charges in Sweden.
He pleaded not guilty to the assault charge and was called to be released by former President Donald Trump before the sentence was announced.
But if he’s convicted of felony assault, the soon-to-be-father would have to serve up to four years in state prison and be fined $4,000.
Rihanna had previously recounted her first time falling for the man during the pandemic in an interview with Vogue.
She recalled their time traveling from LA to New York on the road. Rihanna shared, “I cooked our food on this little janky grill I bought from Walmart. I still have it, too. It works like nobody’s business.”
“There’s no pretentious my-brand-your-brand bulls**t; it’s just us living. I just feel like I can do any part of life by his side,” added the woman who refused to shop on the maternity aisle.
