Rihanna’s pregnancy is not easy. After facing rumors of cheating (since denied), the singer had to face the arrest of her companion, A$AP Rocky. Despite the many turmoil, the mother-to-be wishes to remain zen above all.
“This drama is the last thing Rihanna needs right now. She wants to be calm, relaxed and 100% focused on the arrival of her baby, without stressing, entrusted a source close to the interpreter ofUmbrella to entertainment tonight. It’s something they didn’t see coming.” Rihanna, who said she was in the third and final trimester of her pregnancy, had spent a few days with her family in Barbados, the Caribbean island where she is from. “Rihanna made a point of dealing with the publicity of her pregnancy on her own terms and suddenly, events are spiraling out of control.” complemented the source.
A$AP Rocky released on bail
Aged 33, A$AP Rocky was arrested on Wednesday April 20 when he got off a private jet from Barbados. The singer, who goes by the real name Rakim Mayers, is suspected of involvement in a shooting last November. At that time, he was arrested by the Los Angeles police following an argument between two acquaintances in Hollywood, in which he allegedly fired a handgun at a person. The victim of the shooting(s) last November has not been named by police and suffers minor injuries. The suspect, who left with two other men, was later identified as Rakim Mayers.
Hours after his arrest, A$AP Rocky was released on bail. The rapper paid the tidy sum of $550,000 (500,000 euros) to regain freedom. His home was also searched at the same time. The doors of his California home were broken down by the forceful intervention of the police, who were then able to search and recover several boxes of evidence.
This run-in with the law isn’t A$AP Rocky’s first. The singer had already been arrested during a stay in Sweden for a violent altercation. He had received a suspended prison sentence. At the time, it was President Donald Trump who officially asked the Swedish courts to release the artist. This time, A$AP Rocky faces a one-year prison sentence.
