Rihanna polarizes with extravagant look

The prosecution accuses the woman of firing around 20 shots at the outside wall of Rihanna's property in the Beverly Hills district on March 8. The singer, her partner A$AP Rocky and their three children, among others, were reportedly staying at the property.

No reduction of bail

The suspect appeared in court in yellow prison garb behind glass. Her lawyer, public defender Derek Ray Dillman, requested a reduction in bail from 1.9 million to 70,000 dollars because his client could not afford the sum. Judge Theresa McGonigle rejected the request and left the bail unchanged. The public prosecutor's office argued against the reduction, stating that the defendant posed a significant danger to the general public and was a flight risk.

Rihanna is a nine-time Grammy winner and founded the cosmetics brand Fenty Beauty in 2017. Together with rapper A$AP Rocky, she announced the birth of her third child, a girl named Rocki Irish Mayers, in September.
