ASAP Rocky, a prominent hip-hop artist, was acquitted of charges related to a 2021 shooting incident involving Terell Ephron, his former collaborator. The jury deliberated for nearly three hours, ultimately ruling in Rocky's favor. The case revolved around whether the firearm used was a real weapon or a prop gun, with no physical evidence presented. Rocky, who faced substantial prison time if convicted, thanked jurors post-verdict, celebrating a decision that preserves his career trajectory, including upcoming appearances at major events and film projects.
"Thank y'all for saving my life," he told jurors after the verdict was read.
"The trial hinged on jurors' assessment of the gun used in the incident, which prosecutors said was a semiautomatic firearm and witnesses for the defense testified was instead a prop gun."
