In a bold move, 50 Cent has taken to Instagram to announce his confidence in A$AP Rocky’s acquittal in his ongoing assault case, staking $500,000 on the outcome. The trial has reached its closing arguments, and 50 Cent is not holding back his support for Rocky.
50 Cent, never one to shy away from making headlines, has stoked the flames of A$AP Rocky’s high-profile assault trial with a striking wager. Sharing on Instagram, he ridiculed the claims made by witness ASAP Relli, describing them as nothing more than a desperate attempt to extract money, and sarcastically questioned the integrity of the testimony. ‘Fool said, I was scared for my life, so I went back to the scene and picked up these shells,’ 50 wrote, adding a jab about visiting the hospital for cash.
Meanwhile, in court, tensions ran high as Rocky’s defense clashed with the prosecution. A heated exchange between Rocky’s attorney Joe Tacopina and Deputy District Attorney John Lewin forced the judge to intervene. The courtroom drama intensified as both sides presented starkly contrasting narratives of the 2021 Hollywood incident.
Central to the case is the question raised by Deputy District Attorney Paul Przelomiec: ‘Was it a real gun or was it a fake gun? Nothing else is in dispute.’ Rocky’s defense maintains that the alleged weapon was merely a prop discharging blanks, challenging Relli’s accusations.
Rihanna, Rocky’s partner, has been a notable presence during the trial, attending several court sessions to support him. Her appearances have added to the media frenzy surrounding the trial, further elevating its profile.
According to reports, 50 Cent and A$AP Rocky have had their differences, but it seems any past animosity has been set aside as 50 publicly backs Rocky against the charges. The rapper’s bet has added another layer of spectacle to an already sensational trial.
As A$AP Rocky’s trial approaches its conclusion, all eyes are on the courtroom—and on 50 Cent, who has brought his unique flair to the proceedings. With a $500,000 wager at stake, the entertainment world waits eagerly to see the final verdict in this gripping legal confrontation.
