Pregnant Rihanna ‘forced to cancel baby shower that was scheduled to be held in LA just hours after A$AP Rocky’s arrest’

PREGNANT Rihanna was forced to cancel the baby shower in LA for her first child when cops arrested her rapper boyfriend A$AP Rocky, sources exclusively told The Sun. 

The Diamonds singer, 34, was left in floods of tears when she witnessed officers detain A$AP, 33, at LAX airport on Wednesday morning as the couple got back from a vacation in her native Barbados. 

He was held on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon over an alleged gun attack in Hollywood last November in which an acquaintance was shot at, causing a minor injury.

Although A$AP was released on $550,000 bail later on Wednesday, The Sun has been told the planned celebration with pals to mark the upcoming arrival of their first child had to be postponed.

A source said: “Rihanna was there when Rocky was arrested and has been crying non-stop. 

“She’s heavily pregnant and these are very serious accusations, it’s a nightmare scenario for her.

“It was meant to be Rihanna’s baby shower in LA on Wednesday night but they had to cancel.

“Rihanna was very, very upset and stressed by Rocky’s arrest.

“It’s not the best time for her to be on such an emotional rollercoaster.”

Officers had been keeping A$AP - real name Rakim Mayers - under surveillance for months before making their move, according to the LA Times. 

Following his arrest, officers searched his home in connection with the case, the. 

A$SAP and Rihanna had been spotted enjoying themselves and spending time with friends and family in Barbados before they left for LA. 

He was seen jet skiing while Rihanna watched on using binoculars. 

The LAPD said in a statement on Wednesday that the alleged gun attack in November last year took place following “an argument between two acquaintances”.

The statement said: “The argument escalated and resulted in the suspect firing a handgun at the victim.

“The victim sustained a minor injury from the incident and later sought medical treatment. 

“Following the shooting, the suspect and two additional males fled the area on foot. 

“Detectives worked diligently to investigate and corroborate the reporting information which helped identify the suspect involved.”

The LAPD added that the case would be sent to the LA County District Attorney's Office for filing consideration.

It is unknown what A$AP was allegedly doing in the Hollywood area on the night of the attack but the following day he headlined a music festival in Long Beach, California, with Rihanna in attendance. 

The couple announced they are expecting their first baby together in January. 

Earlier this month Rihanna revealed in an interview that she wanted everybody to be “plastered and crawling out” at her baby shower.
