nih really acting like rocky doesn’t have money to fight this

he should get 25 years just for awful music

I hope that plea deal don’t bite him in the ass it wasn’t even bad they have proof you shot that nigga lmao

I’m hearing that the judge has declared the entire trial was a TEST?

"I'm in the courtroom right now as Judge Arnold talks to the jury pool about the trial, and A$AP Rocky's charges.

"The fact that he is charged is evidence of nothing. ... Does anyone have a problem with that concept?"

None of the 12 in the box raised a hand."

"Rocky’s lawyer Joe Tacopina is questioning potential jurors now.

He asks if they’ve all been to jury school.

“That was a trick question, by the way. There is no jury school.”

biggie is garbage member since 2025

He put his career on the shelf years before this

And I love Rocky’s music

But don’t cap like he’s a super active artist out here, he just gets passive bags and residual bread, and I applaud him for that

Arrested Development character-tier behavior, Rocky is going straight to jail

Flacko Innocent

A lot of these plea deal seem good but are really “traps”. I mean ultimately ya behavior is on you.. BUT some of these probation guidelines be bullshit

Damn 24 years tho?

have we found out what the argument or scuffle was over for yet?

a #TEST

niggas tryna compare this to the tory trial 🐶💔

that being said, the plea deal was very generous

It was over money. Here's A$AP Relli's side of the story:

"Even as he denied being jealous of his old friend, Ephron admitted that Mayers made “open-ended promises” to support potential business ventures, then never followed through. Ephron felt once Mayers made it big, he forgot about the group that helped him succeed.

“He’s the top capo — he got put in a good position through ASAP.” Ephron testified. “Everybody’s looking at Rocky like he’s got the answers.”

Ephron was blunt about the current state of the group: “Everybody’s broke or bums.” Some of the original members died of d*** overdoses. One was again living in a housing project. Another was homeless, Ephron said."

"In October 2021, a member of the group called ASAP Josh died. In a group text, his mother asked for financial help bringing his body back to New York. Mayers, Ephron testified, “stepped in and said he would pay for it.”

Ephron said he believed Mayers never followed through. Przelomiec showed a text message that Ephron sent the rapper: “You so f—ing fake it’s sad.”

“Don’t ever forget who introduced you to this life,” he added. “When I was at my lowest you looked at me like I was a piece of s—.” Ephron acknowledged learning later that Mayers had, in fact, paid for the entire funeral."

"A month after sending the texts, Ephron was in a car with Jabari Shelton, another founding member who went by ASAP Bari, when Shelton got a call from Mayers. Shelton put the call on speakerphone, and Ephron said he heard Mayers invite Shelton to his performance at ComplexCon.

Shelton refused, telling Mayers to “stop having your assistants hit me,” Ephron testified. “Out of nowhere,” he recalled, “Rocky says, ‘F— that n— Relli.’”

After overhearing the conversation, Ephron said he sent a message to one of Mayer’s friends, calling the rapper a vulgar name.

The evening of Nov. 6, 2021, Ephron was sleeping at the Loews Hollywood Hotel. He woke up to see he’d missed calls from Mayers and two other members of ASAP: Illijah Ulanga, nicknamed ASAP Illz, and Jamel Phillips, known as ASAP Twelvyy.

According to text messages shown in court, Mayers wrote to Ephron, asking “Wya?” — short for “Where you at?”

Then: “Let’s get to it.”

“Stop duckin my calls.”

Ephron agreed to meet Mayers at the W. “We was just going to link up, talk,” he recalled thinking. “There was a little bit of tension so I thought there might be some roughing, but I thought we were going to walk away like brothers.”

Ephron walked down Hollywood Boulevard toward the hotel. Mayers was asking where he was, “so I started jogging.” He was on Argyle Avenue, he testified, when he heard Mayers say, “What now, p-?

He said he saw Mayers “coming in hot,” with Ulanga and Phillips behind him.

"In a confrontation partially captured by surveillance cameras, Mayers grabbed him by the collar, Ephron said. Ulanga tried to break it up. Then, Ephron testified, Mayers pulled a handgun from his waistband and pressed it to his chest, stomach and head.

Ephron said he told his onetime friend: “Shoot that s—. Why you brought a gun if you not going to use it?”

Some people walked by. Mayers put the gun back in his waistband and started to walk away, Ephron said. When he saw that Phillips was putting away a pocketknife, he said, he felt betrayed.

"“Seeing red,” Ephron followed after Mayers and Phillips, airing ASAP’s dirty laundry, he testified. He was “letting him know how everybody feel — because nobody’s brave enough to say how they feel about this man.”

Ephron brought up ASAP Yams, a founding member who died in 2015 of a d*** overdose. He called Ulanga “a crackhead,” and noted Phillips was living “back in the projects.”

“I felt this was my time to get everything off my chest,” Ephron testified.

As he followed them onto Selma Avenue, “Rocky turned around and shot me,” Ephron testified. He felt his hand get “hot.”

"Mayers was moving back and forth, Ephron said, trying to get a clean shot. After firing three or four shots in all, he testified, the rapper ran off.

About an hour later, Ephron returned to the scene and picked up two casings off the street. He sent Mayers a video of the cartridges, writing, “U try killing me.”

Mayers replied: “Rell wtf u talkin bout?? Why u tellin ppl I shot at u.”

After Ephron told Mayers he had tried to “take me from my daughter,” the rapper told him to “stop makin s— up.”

Accusing Ephron of extortion, Mayers told him to “call the police if i ‘shot’ @ u u weirdo.”
