Fans could be forgiven for mistaking the rapper’s court appearances for fashion shoots.
The photos will feel familiar to anybody who follows ASAP Rocky.
The rapper/actor/brand-endorser extraordinaire strides forth from a black S.U.V., wearing immaculate designer clothes and blacked-out Ray-Bans, with a Bogart-like flair.
In some of these shots, Rocky wears a $4,000 Saint Laurent trench coat and crimson tie; in others he wears a vast Gucci cashmere coat, despite Los Angeles’s temperate climes. He’s flanked by thickset bodyguards and steps toward the camera looking self-assured and placid.
We’ve seen similar paparazzi shots of Rocky many times before — as he wades to the front row of a fashion show, or accompanies his partner, Rihanna, to dinner.
The setting, however, for this latest slew of Rocky photos, is the Los Angeles County Superior Court house.
For more than a week, the rapper, born Rakim Mayers, has arrived at this boxy judicial edifice to stand trial on two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, stemming from a 2021 altercation with his former collaborator ASAP Relli, born Terell Ephron.
