A$AP Rocky Gets October Trial Date For Alleged Shooting of A$AP Relli

A$AP Rocky is set to face a jury Oct. 21 on charges he opened fire on former friend A$AP Relli on a Los Angeles street corner in 2021

Surveillance clips recovered from separate nearby buildings captured the sound of alleged gunfire and then a man identified by prosecutors as Mayers rounding a corner and slowing down to a walk. Mayers, the boyfriend of Rihanna who shares two children with the superstar singer, is also fighting a lawsuit brought by Ephron alleging assault, battery, negligence, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. “Rocky didn’t shoot him by any stretch,” Tacopina said, calling the assault allegation a “false scenario” at the heart of “a plain and blatant classic attempt at extortion.” The lawyer said Ephron had been badgering Mayers for money and initiated a physical altercation at the face-to-face meeting.
