LOS ANGELES (AP) — The trial of rapper A$AP Rocky is progressing according to standard legal procedure, but there have been no lack of unusual moments, from visits from Rihanna to a tough-but-quirky judge and lawyers nearly coming to blows.

Rihanna showed up at his Los Angeles trial — where he’s charged with two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm — for the first time on Wednesday, sitting between his sister and mother as his former friend testified about the moment he alleges Rocky fired at him.

A friend of A$AP Rocky testified Monday that he cannot remember what the rapper who is on trial for allegedly shooting a gun at a former friend on a Hollywood street four years ago told him about the incident.
