Background and investigations
Rihanna is said to have been at the property at the time of the shooting. According to the Los Angeles Times, the singer was in the house but was not injured, according to previous reports. There is currently no confirmed information as to whether A$AP Rocky or their three children were also in the house.

Rihanna and those around her
The Barbados-born singer is one of the most internationally successful artists and entrepreneurs. She has lived in Beverly Hills for several years with her partner A$AP Rocky and their three children. The incident caused great shock in the otherwise quiet neighborhood inhabited primarily by celebrities. Official statements from Rihanna and her management are not yet available at the time of reporting.
Rihanna recently released a song for the “Smurfs” film. Fans have been waiting for their ninth studio album for years, which is usually known to the public under the working title “R9”. According to media reports, Rihanna is actively working on the project and was seen again in recording studios in New York in early 2026.
In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Rihanna explained that she “spent eight years in the studio” trying to find the right sound and has now “cracked the concept for her next album.” At the same time, the singer emphasized that the new material would probably not meet expectations and would not be particularly radio-friendly, but should more closely reflect her current artistic development. However, there is currently no release date for the album.
