A$AP Rocky is currently facing trial for two counts of felony assault with a semiautomatic firearm. The alleged incident took place in November 2021 outside a Hollywood hotel, where Rocky reportedly fired a handgun at his former friend and collaborator, A$AP Relli. Despite Rocky’s claims of innocence, a judge ruled that there was enough evidence for the case to proceed. The trial officially began on October 21, 2024.
According to reports, the altercation between Rocky and Relli escalated, leading to Rocky pulling out a gun and firing at Relli before fleeing the scene. Relli testified in court that Rocky threatened to kill him before shooting him from a distance. Relli sustained minor injuries from the incident and later reported it to the authorities.
Rocky was arrested five months after the shooting and was charged with two counts of assault with a firearm. He pled not guilty to the charges and was released on bail. Additionally, Relli filed a civil lawsuit against Rocky seeking damages for assault, battery, and emotional distress.
The trial date was initially set for January 21, 2025, after being postponed due to logistical reasons and issues with discovery. Rocky’s lawyer expressed confidence in his client’s innocence and stated that they have evidence to support their case. Despite the legal proceedings, Rocky has maintained his innocence and is determined to clear his name.
It is essential to note that legal cases like these can be complex and involve various testimonies and evidence. The trial will continue to unfold as both parties present their arguments and evidence in court. The outcome of the trial will ultimately determine Rocky’s fate and whether he will be found guilty of the charges against him.
