Things got real for rapper A$AP Rocky (real name Rakim Mayers) this week as he pleaded not guilty to assault charges stemming from a 2021 clash with his former friend, A$AP Relli. Rocky is accused of pointing a gun and firing shots at Relli during a heated argument.
The case took a dramatic turn in November when a judge ruled there was enough evidence to send it to trial. This came after new surveillance footage emerged, allegedly capturing the sound of gunshots during the altercation. However, the video doesn't show the shooting itself, and the gun was never recovered.
Adding to the intrigue, Relli claims he was hit by bullet fragments and even used his friend as a shield during the alleged shooting. He later filed a civil suit against Rocky for assault, battery, and emotional distress, seeking damages exceeding $25,000.
While Rocky stands firm in his not-guilty plea, his lawyer paints a different picture. He claims Relli's injuries were self-inflicted and that Rocky actually offered financial help to Relli when their friend passed away. Their contrasting stories set the stage for a thrilling trial, leaving everyone wondering: Who's telling the truth?
