A$AP Rocky is set to go to trial in Los Angeles on charges that he fired a gun at a former friend and collaborator on the streets near a Hollywood hotel in 2021.

He has pleaded not guilty to two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm.

Superior Court Judge Mark S. Arnold said he will allow video cameras to air the trial that’s expected to last about two weeks.

According to authorities, an argument escalated and led to Rocky "firing a handgun" at Ephron, according to the tweeted statement from the LAPD in April 2022.
Ephron received medical attention, sustaining only minor injuries, according to police. Police said Rocky and two other men fled the scene on foot.

Video shown in court in November showed a group of men, two of whom officials identified as Rocky and Ephron, involved in a verbal altercation, according to The Associated Press.

Rocky could get up to 24 years in prison if convicted on all charges.

He is also facing a separate civil lawsuit from Ephron.

Wasn’t there a thread already? Either way I hope he gets let off

Who is ASAP Relli

"Ephron, formerly known as A$AP Relli, testified at the November hearing that he and his childhood friend Rocky belonged to the same group of artists at their New York high school, according to AP. Both are a part of what was known as A$AP Mob, the hip-hop collective featuring chart-topping rapper A$AP Ferg and the late A$AP Yams.

Their relationship later soured and resulted in the Hollywood standoff on Nov. 6, 2021, when Ephron said Rocky first pulled a gun on him.

There was also a later confrontation where Rocky allegedly fired shots that grazed his former friend's knuckles, AP reported.

Police did not recover the alleged firearm, a 9 mm pistol, when Rocky was served a search warrant."

I really wonder why he did this

I hope he gets let off man, I feel like this has been hanging over his head heavy recently.

Rocky's lawyer says he's "eager" to testify.

Yeah I could be wrong and maybe Rocky is just a dumbass but I feel like if he fr shot his long time friend it must have been for his safety in some way

He only grazed his hand? For some reason I thought he shot him in the leg. Still dumb obviously.

Hopefully they go easier on him since it was just a minor injury.

Rih keeping her options open

Video of altercation

24 years is crazy

Damn

Rocky has the lowest level of first degree assault since he didn't cause any huge bodily harm so yea he wont do the maximum time if he's convicted.

Homie been stressing so hard

Don't Be Dumb in 2025

I see why Ferg said ASAP was dead

Free Rocky, A$AP

This guy looks like he’s wearing a human suit

Already committing perjury, SMH

he got fight stories to tell

Why does Rihanna's relationship to him matter in this trial? (I havnt been paying much attention I'm genuinely asking)
