A$AP Rocky was acquitted of charges related to the 2021 shooting of Terell "A$AP Relli" Ephron. The jury sided with Rocky after the defense demonstrated insufficient evidence, highlighting the absence of a gun or shell casings. Rocky, who had previously pleaded not guilty to assault charges, contended that he carried a prop gun for a video. The case included conflicting testimonies, with prosecutors arguing that witnesses were coached and suggesting the use of a prop gun as a threat was illogical. Rihanna showed her support during the trial as well.
"Thank y'all for saving my life. Thank y'all for making the right decision," Rocky told the jurors as they left the courtroom.
The defense argued Rocky carried a prop gun to deter attackers and claimed that Ephron followed him knowing it was fake.
Prosecutor Przelomiec suggested that a prop gun couldn't serve as a credible threat if Ephron knew it was not real.
Ephron alleges Rocky pulled a gun on him during a disagreement, but the defense contested the charge with key witness testimonies.
