A$AP Rocky Gun-Assault Trial to Begin Next Week: ‘He’s Ready to Go’


A$AP Rocky’s criminal trial over charges he fired shots at his former friend A$AP Relli is still on track to begin next week.

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Mark S. Arnold said jury selection will begin Tuesday with Rocky, born Rakim Mayers, ordered to appear in person. At a preliminary hearing in late 2023, prosecutors showed video of the alleged Nov. 6, 2021 gun assault, claiming Mayers fired a weapon at the corner of Selma Ave. and Vista Del Mar Ave. in Hollywood after confronting Relli, born Terell Ephron, at the entrance of a parking garage about a block away. He’s also due to play the “main role” in Spike Lee’s upcoming remake of Akira Kurosawa’s 1963 kidnapping drama High and Low, making his acting debut alongside Ice Spice.
