Pregnant Rihanna fans worried baby daddy A$AP Rocky will ‘miss the birth of their child’ after arrest for 2021 shooting

Pregnant Rihanna’s fans are worried that her baby daddy, A$AP Rocky, could “miss the birth of their child”.

The rapper was arrested today in connection to a shooting that took place in 2021.

After learning that A$AP was apprehended by police as he landed at Los Angeles International Airport, fans were concerned that he could miss the birth of his and Rihanna’s child.

The Diamonds-hitmaker is pregnant with their first baby, and although she has not revealed the official due date, it’s likely that she will give birth soon.

One fan wrote on Twitter: “The timing of A$AP’s arrest is unfortunate. Hope this doesn’t make him miss the birth of his child. Damn.”

Another asked: “Dang, is A$AP gonna miss his child’s birth?"

A third concerned fan wished: “I hope A$AP Rocky doesn’t have to miss his baby’s birth because he’s behind bars.”

A$AP, known for hits such as Fashion Killa and Sundress, was arrested today as he and Rihanna returned from their trip to Barbados.

The beauty mogul and the musician had spent some quality time with her friends and family ahead of the birth of their first child together.

Upon making their return, A$AP was apprehended by law enforcement for his alleged connection to a shooting from months ago.

WHY WAS A$AP ARRESTED?

On November 6, 2021, a shooting occurred in Los Angeles and the rapper was reportedly linked to the ordeal.

While no fatalities were reported, the victim said one of the bullets grazed his left hand.

On Wednesday, April 20, LAPD said in a press release: "The Los Angeles Police Department has made an arrest in connection with a shooting that occurred in the Hollywood area in November of 2021."

The statement from cops mentioned "an argument between two acquaintances" that occurred somewhere in Hollywood, California.

"The argument escalated and resulted in the suspect firing a handgun at the victim.

"The victim sustained a minor injury from the incident and later sought medical treatment.

"The suspect has been identified as 33-year-old Rakim Mayers, a Los Angeles resident, also known as music artist A$AP Rocky.

"Early this morning, LAPD officers arrested Mayers for assault with a deadly weapon (firearm) at the Los Angeles International Airport."

The Harlem native has a troubled history, consisting of fights, arrests, legal battles, and more.
