Rihanna is breathing a sigh of relief as her partner, A$AP Rocky, has been acquitted in his felony assault trial.

The 36-year-old Grammy-winning artist wasted no time in expressing her gratitude on Instagram, sharing an emotional message just minutes after the verdict was announced.

"The Glory belongs to God and God alone. THANKFUL, HUMBLED BY HIS MERCY!"

If convicted, he could have faced up to 24 years in prison.

Following the announcement of the verdict, Rocky took the stage during a post-trial press conference, reflecting on the challenging four years and thanking the jury for making the right decision.

"Thank y’all for saving my life. Thank y’all for making the right decision. I gotta thank God first. And I really want to thank the jury for making the right decision, you know?"

"This is crazy right now. This whole experience has been crazy for the past four years, but I'm thankful nonetheless. I'm thankful and blessed to be here as a free man talking to you all.”

The power couple confirmed their relationship in November 2020 and are now parents to two sons, RZA, two, and Riot, one.
