Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, amidst cheers of triumph, celebrated the rapper's legal acquittal with a fashion-forward dinner at the exclusive social club Gravitas, nestled in the opulent neighborhood of Beverly Hills, California, on a late Tuesday evening. The duo was accompanied by Rihanna's manager, Jay Brown, Rocky's influential New York attorney Joe Tacopina, and entertainment lawyer Damien Granderson, as they indulged in a selection of fine wines and champagne, according to an insider who exclusively shared the details with Page Six.
The "Diamonds" chanteuse and her beau were spotted exiting the elite, members-only venue just past midnight, following an intimate and joyous meal. Renowned for its "impeccable service, unparalleled culinary delights, and thoughtfully curated amenities," Gravitas boasts features such as temperature-controlled wine lockers, a car concierge service, and an enchanting garden bar, as highlighted on its website.
Decked out in the very attire they wore to Rocky's hearing earlier that evening, the couple exuded excitement and exhilaration as they marked this significant victory. Rihanna, 36, donned brown trousers paired with a sleek gray blazer adorned with a silver button-down shirt, completing her look with chic black glasses and a striking red lip. Meanwhile, the face of Dior Homme, also 36, looked suave in a tailored, pinstriped double-breasted blue suit and tie, layered under a long, elegant overcoat.
Just a few hours prior to their romantic evening, Rocky was acquitted on two counts of assault involving a semiautomatic firearm stemming from a 2021 shooting incident involving his childhood friend A$AP Relli. Overwhelmed with joy, Rocky ran into Rihanna's arms as she shed tears of happiness, with his mother and sister by his side offering their unwavering support. Grateful to the jury, who deliberated for five hours before rendering the not-guilty verdict on Tuesday, Rocky expressed his heartfelt thanks, stating that they had saved his life.
"Today marked the completion of the journey towards justice," Joe Tacopina, Rocky's esteemed New York attorney, exclusively stated in a Tuesday press release to Page Six. "We are elated and thrilled that the jury saw through the district attorney's frivolous case. Rocky and Rihanna can now resume their lives with their two young children and their loved ones."
Facing a potential sentence of up to 24 years in prison, prosecutors had only sought eight years after Rocky pleaded not guilty to the charges, declining a plea deal. Rihanna has steadfastly stood by the father of her two children since the trial commenced in January, attending several of his court appearances in stylish ensembles.
Rejoicing with her fans after Rocky's name was cleared, she posted on her Instagram Story Tuesday night, "The glory belongs solely to God! I am thankful and humbled by His mercy."
