Rihanna’s mother, Monica Fenty, has reportedly delivered an ultimatum to A$AP Rocky, urging the rapper to leave her daughter alone or expect some legal issues. Insiders close to the family say Monica is tired of seeing Rocky control her cousin’s life and driving her to tears over Rihanna.

It comes after a tumultuous few weeks for the pair, despite putting on a united front during Rocky’s recent assault trial, which saw him cleared of felony charges. Monica is reportedly convinced that Rocky’s legal problems and lifestyle will take a toll on Rihanna and their two little boys, RZA and Riot.

Insiders claim Monica has already confronted Rocky and promised to take legal action if he doesn’t stop “hurting” her child. Although it is not clear where the alleged harm has occurred, the ultimatum has prompted fiery online discussion. (Those who feel protective of Monica are divided.) And because some fans love to support underdogs (as well as because Rihanna’s the type to fiercely stand by her man, courtroom saga or no), those defending Rocky have been sure to speak up. Neither Rihanna nor Rocky has addressed the claims publicly, but the strained relationship adds a new wrinkle to their high-profile romance. Will love conquer all, or will Monica’s indomitable determination change their fate
