A$AP Rocky is looking back at what was taken from his family after a recent violent encounter at his home with Rihanna.
In a new cover story with VIBE published on Tuesday (June 2), the "Praise the Lord" rapper opened up about the impact of a scary incident at his and Rih's Los Angeles home earlier this year. In March, Los Angeles Police confirmed a woman was arrested after she allegedly shot an AR-15 style rifle at the home, which is shared by the couple and their three children: sons RZA, 4, and Riot, 2, and daughter, Rocki, 8 months. All of them were reportedly home at the time, but no injuries were reported.
"It was f---ed up," he said. "Somebody attempted at [harming] me and my family."
While fortunately no one was hurt during the incident, Rocky is now explaining how their sense of peace within their own space has been disrupted.
"It took a lot of peace and happiness of being able to just be free," he said. "I don't want to be robbed of my peace and joy."
Rocky wasn't the only one left reeling from the incident. Sources previously told People that Rihanna was shaken by terrifying encounter.
"Even with a great security team in place, it's scary to realize that something like this can still happen," an insider said. "Rihanna heard the shots, but was initially confused about what happened. She doesn't understand why someone would target her family."
Ivanna Lisette Ortiz was arrested for allegedly firing 10 shots at the couple's property on March 8 and charged with one count of attempted murder, 10 felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and three felony counts of shooting at an inhabited dwelling or camper, though she has pleaded not guilty to her charges. She is being held on a $1.8 million bond and could potentially face life in prison if convicted on all charges.
