A$AP Rocky’s Gun Assault Trial Delayed to January

A$AP Rocky's gun assault trial delayed to January, sparing his gig at Rolling Loud Thailand and sparking questions about Rihanna's trial attendance

A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge agreed to move the expected 10-day trial to Jan. 21, 2025, from its previously scheduled Nov. 12 start date after the rapper’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina, asked for the delay, citing the musician’s travel commitment, the Thanksgiving holiday and a pending issue with evidence. At a preliminary hearing last November, 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, near a parking garage about a block away. Tacopina – an aggressive defense lawyer known for representing high-profile clients including Meek Mill, YG, and Donald Trump – has suggested Relli perjured himself when he denied during his testimony that he asked for millions of dollars to make the criminal case disappear.
