A$AP Rocky found not guilty in gun assault trial


Verdict comes after former friend A$AP Relli accused rapper of shooting him in Hollywood in 2021

After the verdict was read, the 36-year-old hip-hop star dove into the gallery to hug his longtime partner, Rihanna, and expressed his gratitude to the jurors as they left the courtroom. The verdict follows a more than two week trial during which the alleged victim, whose stage name is A$AP Relli, testified that Rocky fired two shots from a handgun at him, grazing his knuckles. During witness testimony, which concluded on Tuesday without Rocky taking the stand, prosecutors argued that the hip-hop star fired at Relli, whose legal name is Terell Ephron.
