Rapper A$AP Rocky was declared not guilty on all counts on Tuesday by jurors in his felony criminal trial in downtown Los Angeles.
A$AP Rocky was acquitted of charges related to a 2021 shooting incident involving his former associate, A$AP Relli. The jury found him not guilty on all counts, with the defense arguing that Rocky used a prop gun and that Relli fabricated his account. Prosecutors contended that Rocky intentionally fired at Relli. Rihanna, Rocky's girlfriend, was emotionally supportive during the trial and celebrated the verdict with him. The jury likely considered self-defense or the prop gun claim in their decision. The case also highlighted discussions about the potential influence of Rihanna's high-profile presence in court, though the defense maintained she wasn't there by Rocky's choice.
