Rihanna Remains Composed for Her Family as ASAP Rocky Faces Potential 9-Year Prison Term

Rakim Mayers, known as the rapper A$AP Rocky and the father of two young children with pop singer Rihanna, has been directed to face trial in January. Mayers, 35, is alleged to have discharged a firearm at competing rapper, Terell Ephron, in November 2021. He is potentially facing a maximum prison sentence of nine years on felony charges involving assault with a firearm.

Mayers has continually proclaimed his innocence. Now, according to anonymous sources offering exclusive information to Life & Style, Rihanna, also aged 35, is in fear of her family disintegrating. She is said to be attempting to maintain composure and trust in the assurances of attorneys that they will succeed in preventing a jail sentence for Mayers. However, she is struggling, given that guarantees were previously made that the case wouldn't have to go to court. Should the maximum sentence be imposed, she faces the prospect of raising her two children without him.

In the meantime, Rihanna, a recipient of nine Grammy awards, is concentrating all her efforts towards strengthening Mayers' defense. According to the same insider sources, she is adamant about his innocence and guarantees her whole-hearted support.
