Amid the legal battle, ASAP Rocky has had unwavering support from his loved ones. According to Rolling Stone ’s Nancy Dillon, Rihanna was seated in the courtroom’s front row alongside Rocky’s mother, Renee Black. Dillon also noted that Rihanna kept her head down and appeared emotional throughout the proceedings.

In closing arguments, the defence will contend that video evidence and text messages cannot be trusted, nor can Relli. He also filed a civil suit in the case, and Rocky’s attorneys cast him as a jealous opportunist out for the money of a former friend who became famous.
