A$AP Rocky created a stir with his entourage and designer looks as he was supported by his mom - but not his girlfriend Rihanna - at his gun trial this week. The rapper has pleaded not guilty to two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm in an Los Angeles courtroom.

Rocky, who's real name Rakim Mayers, is facing 24 years behind bars following the 2021 incident where he allegedly fired shots at his former friend A$AP Relli. He showed up for jury selection at court in Los Angeles with a team bigger than the Kardashians' entourage when they went up against Blac Chyna in her $100 million defamation trial in 2022.

Rocky was flanked by an entourage including his mom Renee Black, sister Erika, security guards, and at least one personal assistant - who was tasked with carrying his designer Goyard briefcase. An eyewitness told The U.S. Sun on Wednesday: "He turned up with his entourage in two blacked-out SUVs, which were often in a no parking zone with the engine running.

"It was like the president was in court, even the Kardashians were more laid back. Rocky meant business. "You could hear a pin drop when he walked down the corridor with his team, and he avoided the crowded area waiting for the elevators at lunch, opting to take the stairs.".

Rocky opted for expensive looks for his appearances this week and kept his black designer shades and mask on when he wasn't inside the courtroom. On Wednesday, the trendsetter opted for a monochromatic style with a black tailored suit with lapels and a black polo shirt.
