During A$AP Rocky’s shooting trial, Rihanna made regular court appearances to support her man and the father of her two boys.
However, with the way Rocky jumped to hug Riri after the verdict was read and he was found not guilty of the gun assault offense will make one wonder how he knew where she is sitting exactly in the court room but as it turns out he has a way of knowing when she is in the building.
Sweet right! So, do you know how your partner smiles? Here’s how A$AP Rocky knew Rihanna was in court during his trial.
According to A$AP Rocky’s attorney Joe Tacopina his client A$AP Rocky was able to identify his girlfriend, Rihanna, by her scent after she entered the courtroom for his gun assault trial without his knowledge.
Attorney Joe Tacopina made this revelation during a sit-down with VladTV.

The revered lawyer shared that the Harlem rapper was uncomfortable with his children’s mother being present during the trial, where he faced two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm.
“I commend him. He’s like, ‘Look, this is my family. This is not their problem. It’s not her problem.
Joe Tacopina went on to share that;
I’m gonna deal with it,’” “I’m like, ‘I know, Rock, but you know, families are there for each other. It’s cool.’”
Tacopina also stated that Rocky liked to say:
“Joe, she’s Rihanna, I’m protecting her from this,’” he continued. “I’m not letting her be here. Let’s not even discuss it anymore.”
Rihanna, however, ignored her partner’s wishes and showed up on the third day of his trial and “almost every day” after,
The music and business mogul told the attorney she would be present, with Tacopina informing the judge, but choosing to withhold that information from his client.
He went on to describe one day when Riri entered the courtroom 10 minutes into proceedings in an attempt to “try and be discreet.”
This, however, resulted in Rocky sniffing out his partner.
“We’re at the table, and Rocky doesn’t know she’s there, doesn’t know she’s coming,” he recalled.
“But I did, and I just didn’t wanna bother him with that, we’re just focused.”
Rocky then began sniffing the air before telling Tacopina, “Joe, I smell my girl. It’s weird, man.”
Tacopina responds by saying,
“Yeah, Rocky, you smell your girl ‘cause she’s sitting right behind you,”
“His eyes go all big. He goes, ‘What?’ She’s here, bro. You weren’t keeping her away.”
Rocky was ultimately found not guilty, with Rihanna taking to her Instagram Stories shortly after with a message of gratitude.
“Glory belongs to God and God alone. Thankful, humbled by his mercy!”
