Rihanna wasted no time shutting down a reporter after they asked an insensitive question just moments after ASAP Rocky was acquitted.

During a press conference outside the courthouse, where Rocky was speaking about his relief and gratitude, a journalist suddenly blindsided him with the question: "ASAP, how does it feel losing your childhood friend?"

With emotions still running high, Rihanna instantly snapped back, making it clear she was not here for the drama. “How you think it feel?” she clapped back.

The moment went viral, with fans praising Rihanna for standing up for up for her partner.

Rihanna has been by Rocky's side through the four-year legal battle, and after the judge cleared him of all charges, Rocky immediately jumped over the courtroom railing into Rihanna’s arms.

The Grammy-winning singer later took to Instagram, expressing gratitude:

"The glory belongs to God and God alone. Thankful. Humbled by His mercy!"

ASAP Rocky faced 24 years in prison after being accused of shooting at former friend ASAP Relli during a 2021 altercation. The rapper denied the claims, and after a tense legal fight, he walked free.

At the press conference, Rocky expressed relief:

“Thank y’all for saving my life. Thank you for making the right decision.”
