Rapper A$AP Rocky became emotional as the verdict in his shooting trial was revealed, surrounded by his girlfriend and family. The case originated from a conflict with former friend A$AP Relli, who claimed Rocky shot him in the hand during a 2021 dispute.
Once close, their friendship deteriorated due to financial and personal disagreements within the A$AP Mob collective. Facing two counts of assault with a semi-automatic firearm, Rocky maintained his innocence and pleaded not guilty.
The trial highlighted deep divisions within A$AP, with Relli accusing Rocky of abandoning old friendships and failing to uphold business commitments. Despite the intense courtroom battle and lingering tensions, Rocky remained composed and addressed the jury with six heartfelt words, expressing his gratitude.
