Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are determined to celebrate love. Despite the rapper’s ongoing assault trial, they took a moment to celebrate their love this Valentine’s Day, sharing a sweet and intimate tribute on social media.
The power couple, who have been together since 2019 and share two children, melted hearts on Valentine’s Day with a PDA-filled tribute that had fans swooning.
On Friday, February 14, the Fenty Beauty mogul, 36, took to Instagram to shower her longtime love with affection, sharing an intimate throwback reel of their most romantic moments. “Get u a valentine that still writes love letters,” she captioned the post, hinting at a love that’s as old-school.
The video montage showcased Rihanna and Rocky, both 36, exploring the streets of Paris, holding hands and radiating effortless chemistry. Rocky had Rihanna on his back in a different segment of the video.
In another scene, the Umbrella artist is leaning forward, and the back of her jacket clearly displays “Be Dumb,” while Rocky gives her a playful slap on the back.
Another clip shows the pair cozied up in matching camo puffer coats, lying on the floor of what appeared to be a chic hotel suite, giving fans a rare glimpse into their playful, affectionate dynamic.
While their love story continues to thrive, Rocky is currently facing an ongoing assault trial, making this public display of affection all the more significant. Rihanna’s post sent a clear message: she’s standing by her man, come what may.
The allegations against A$AP Rocky arise from an incident that reportedly occurred in Hollywood in 2021. A former associate and collaborator claimed that the rapper displayed a firearm during a dispute and discharged it with the intention of intimidating. According to the victim, the event left him free from physical harm but caused psychological distress. After the victim lodged a complaint, law enforcement initiated an investigation, presenting witness statements and surveillance footage as proof.
Prosecutors assert that Rocky’s conduct was intentional and endangered public safety. In contrast, the defense contends that the rapper was not armed and that the existing video evidence fails to definitively show him as the shooter.
In 2023, the prosecution proposed a plea bargain involving a 180-day jail term and three years of probation. A$AP Rocky declined the proposal, maintaining his innocence and opting to contest the allegations in court.
