Will Rihanna join A$AP Rocky in his court trial?
According to TMZ, RiRi is 'considering' attending court to support her beau A$AP Rocky as the trial is set to resume this week.
The same publication said that upon the jury selection, Rihanna was a key part of selection. Potential jurors were asked if they were fans of the singer or if they'd bought any Fenty products.
Rocky has pled not guilty to the two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, and faces up to 24 years in prison if convicted.
Rihanna has now reportedly entered the Los Angeles courtroom through a concealed entrance to support her boyfriend.
A source told the US Sun: "Rihanna arrived around 9:49 a.m. in a blacked-out SUV and met with two security guards who tried to throw everyone off and went down a side passageway out of the court.
"They jumped in her car in the underground parking lot, and she snuck into the court in a secret elevator and never walked the main corridor."
Rihanna, wearing an all-black outfit, reportedly sat beside Mayers' mother and sister in the front row of the courtroom, with many security guards sat around them.
