A California jury has acquitted A$AP Rocky of two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm following a 2021 shooting incident involving a former friend in Los Angeles. The hip-hop artist, known for his relationship with singer Rihanna, expressed gratitude to the jury for 'saving my life' after the verdict was announced.
During the trial, it was argued that the weapon in question was a prop gun that only fired blanks, obtained from a music video set for security purposes. The defense maintained that the accuser, A$AP Relli, was driven by jealousy and financial motives to have Rocky charged with the shooting.
