On the 14th day of trial, following testimony and closing arguments, it took the jury just under four hours to find Rocky not guilty of the charges. Rocky was on trial for the shooting of A$AP Relli during a dispute in a Hollywood, Calif. parking lot on Nov. 6, 2021.

The rapper, who shares two sons with Rihanna, faced up to 24 years in prison as prosecutors accused him of shooting at a former friend in 2021.

Rocky was found not guilty by a Los Angeles jury in a case of firearm assault stemming from a 2021 incident in Hollywood.

Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, was acquitted Tuesday of assault charges stemming from a 2021 Hollywood shooting.

A jury’s acquittal of A$AP Rocky has put to rest a case that hung over the hip-hop star for years and threatened to derail his life and career.

The rapper had faced two felony counts of assault with a firearm in connection with a 2021 altercation in Los Angeles.

Rocky was cleared of two firearm assault charges by a Los Angeles jury on Tuesday (Feb. 18) evening. The not guilty verdict came as a major sigh of relief for the rapper, who had been facing up to 24 years in prison over a 2021 altercation with Terell “ASAP Relli” Ephron.

For Rocky to be found guilty of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, prosecutors must show that the gun was real. In jury instructions Tuesday, Superior Court Judge Mark Arnold told the jury that they may consider self-defense as a possible motive.
