Spared from potential 24 years imprisonment
In a dramatic turn of events, A$AP Rocky has been acquitted of all charges in his recent gun assault trial. The Los Angeles jury found him not guilty on two counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, stemming from a 2021 incident involving former friend Terell Ephron, also known as A$AP Relli.
The courtroom was tense as both sides presented their cases. Ephron alleged that Rocky had pointed a gun at him and fired, causing a minor injury. Rocky's defense team countered, stating the gun was merely a prop from a music video shoot and that Ephron was the aggressor. After weeks of testimony, the jury sided with Rocky, leading to his acquittal.
As the "not guilty" verdict was announced, an emotional Rocky turned to the front row, where his partner, Rihanna, was seated. Overcome with relief, he leaped over the courtroom railing to embrace her. The couple's public display of affection underscored the personal toll the trial had taken on them.
With the legal battle behind him, A$AP Rocky expressed gratitude to his supporters and the jury. Rihanna took to social media, writing, "THE GLORY BELONGS TO GOD AND GOD ALONE! THANKFUL, HUMBLED BY HIS MERCY!" The couple now looks forward to focusing on their family and future projects.
