A$AP Rocky revisited the March shooting at his Beverly Hills home, saying recounting the attack took away the peace and joy of being with Rihanna and their children. The alleged shooter, Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, has been charged with attempted murder and multiple
A$AP Rocky still sounds shaken when he talks about the moment shots were fired at his Beverly Hills home while he, Rihanna, and their family were inside.
In a new interview, the rapper calls it “f***** up” that someone tried to harm him and his family. He says explaining the incident has stolen the quiet happiness of simply being free, a kind of normal that the March shooting never let him fully have back.
The attack happened in March. when prosecutors said several bullets struck the property while Rocky was inside with Rihanna and their kids. The person accused in the case is Ivanna Lisette Ortiz. who has been charged with attempted murder and multiple felony gun charges. Ortiz told the court she “wasn’t attempting murder.”.
Rocky’s thoughts also drift to what comes after fear. He spoke about plans for a massive summer cookout in his Harlem hometown and looked back on earlier days, when he says you couldn’t stay at a cookout for more than an hour because “motherf***** start shooting.”
These days, he says, the vibe has shifted—at least for him. He jokes that the people who once carried that kind of energy grew up and became parents too, like he has with his children: RZA, Riot Rose and Rocki.
The sequence of facts is stark: prosecutors say the shooting occurred in March while Rocky. Rihanna. and their kids were inside; Ortiz now faces attempted murder and multiple felony gun charges; and Rocky’s latest comments trace how that night continues to reach beyond the headlines. He’s talking about what it cost him—peace. joy. and the ease of being at home—while still pointing toward summer gatherings that. for him. have always carried both nostalgia and risk.
