  • A$AP Rocky faces two charges of assault with a semiautomatic firearm after an alleged 2021 altercation.
  • The rapper, accused of threatening his childhood friend A$AP Relli, has had his trial delayed multiple times.
  • A$AP Relli claims the altercation was a turning point in their relationship, accusing Rocky of abuse of fame.
  • Despite fears of career damage, Relli takes the stand to recount the harrowing details of the encounter.

Rakim Mayers, popularly known as A$AP Rocky, is caught in a legal storm, accused of firing a gun at his childhood buddy, Terell Ephron, aka A$AP Relli. This tense moment took place at a Hollywood hotel in November 2021. The charges pressed against him involve two counts of felony assault with a semiautomatic firearm.

A$AP Rocky’s trial, after several delays, has finally moved to the courtroom stage. In a dramatic turn, he refused a plea bargain that would have entailed a shorter jail term of 180 days. This has set the stage for a comprehensive courtroom showdown.

On the witness stand, A$AP Relli narrates a chilling moment when Rocky allegedly turned a gun on him. Relli claimed, “He pointed the gun at me & said I’ll kill you right now p***sy.” It’s a scene that underscores fear and concern for his life that night.

Relli describes the incident as a pivotal moment, a catalyst that fractured their long-standing friendship. According to Relli, Rocky’s insensitivity and disregard for their relationship served as a breaking point.

During his testimony, Relli expressed hesitation in coming forward, fearing the end of his career. He stated the difficult dynamics with Rocky, portraying Rocky as a liar, went further when Relli acknowledged that he became furious after Rocky’s life-threatening actions.

In response, Rocky’s legal team, led by Joe Tacopina, argues that Relli’s allegations are driven by “greed, jealousy, and lies.” Tacopina accuses Relli of exploiting their complex relationship for personal gain, further complicating the trial narrative.

Amid these charged exchanges, Relli attributes his survival to a mutual friend named Elijah, whose presence, he believes, averted a tragic outcome. “If Elijah wasn’t there I don’t know what would have happened,” Relli admitted.

As the courtroom drama unfolds, the fate of a long-time friendship hangs in the balance and the legal consequences for A$AP Rocky remain to be seen.
