Following the verdict, A$AP Rocky rushed over to embrace Rihanna, expressing his gratitude to the jury, which consisted of seven women and five men, saying, “Thanks y’all for saving my life.” This heartfelt moment highlighted the relief and joy they both felt after the verdict was read.
In addition to the courtroom drama, Rihanna took to her Instagram Stories to share her feelings about the outcome. She expressed her relief and gratitude, stating, “The Glory Belongs To God And God Alone!” She further emphasized her feelings of thankfulness and humility, writing, “Thankful, Humbled By His Mercy!”
This case has drawn significant media attention, not only due to the serious nature of the charges but also because of the high-profile relationship between A$AP Rocky and Rihanna.
