Watch A$AP Rocky Leap Over Courtroom Railing Into Rihanna’s Arms Seconds After Not Guilty Verdict

ASAP Rocky leapt into Rihanna's arms after being found not guilty verdict in his felony shooting case. Watch the video of his reaction.

In a news clip from a live broadcast of the final day of the rapper’s three-week trial in Los Angeles, Rocky starts out looking stoic in a pinstripe suit as he waits for his verdict — “We, the jury … find the defendant, Rakim Mayers, not guilty …” — to be read out. As soon as he hears the beginnings of the words “not guilty,” the musician ecstatically whips around and, after giving one of his attorneys a quick passing hug, barrels toward where Ri is sitting and dives over a railing into her arms. The “F–kin’ Problems” artist had been facing up to 24 years of prison time if the ruling had gone in the opposite direction, having spent the past three weeks defending himself against two felony counts of assault with a firearm over a November 2021 incident in which he was accused of firing a gun twice at former friend A$AP Relli in Hollywood.
