Rihanna Witnesses A$AP Relli Outburst

Yesterday’s hearing included some fireworks as Relli had a heated exchange with Rocky’s attorney, Joe Tacopina, and insisted death threats have occurred due to the case.

“Why are you showing my Instagram? I’m already getting death threats,” Relli questioned when Tacopina showed the jury one of Relli’s Instagram posts. “[People] threatening my daughter, like, what’s going on here?…Because you’re saying I’m an extortionist. You putting my whole life on…This is getting really annoying. What does this have to do with the case?”

Relli also had an outburst in court where he reportedly addressed Rocky directly saying, “You did it yourself.”

A$AP Rocky rejected a plea deal on the first day of the trial. If convicted, the prosecution is recommending he serve 10 to 12 years behind bars.
