On April 23, ASAP Rocky was spotted for the first time since his arrest, with Rihanna accompanying him. The duo were seen at Georgia Baldi in Santa Monica.

The dinner was reportedly a baby shower with friends and family, and the theme seemed to be a combo of casual and fancy. Rihanna was seen displaying her growing baby bump, wearing a white open shirt along with a black jacket.

The singer wore a pair of black open-toed heels and let her locks fall loose down her shoulders. Rocky was seen in a dark gray hoodie with a white floral print and a matching pair of jeans. He also wore a multi-colored bejeweled belt along with a gray T-shirt and a pair of black trainers.

ASAP Rocky was arrested on April 20 at Los Angeles International Airport in connection to a November 2021 shooting, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

The rapper arrived on a private plane from Barbados where he was on a vacation with his girlfriend Rihanna. Multiple law enforcement sources said that Rihanna was with Rocky when he was arrested and a search warrant was executed at Rocky’s residence in Los Angeles.

The singer’s attorney, Alan Jackson, later confirmed that his client was arrested and he was booked into jail alongside a bail being set at $550,000, according to the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department booking report. The 33-year-old was released less than three hours after posting bond and a court date was set for August 17.
