ASAP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers has been found not guilty in a felony assault trial.
The rapper, who has two kids with Billionaire, Rihanna, would have been condemned to more than two decades in prison if he had been convicted of the alleged attack on a former friend in Hollywood in 2021.
While seated in court, waiting for the final judgement to be pronounced, the Grammy nominee was found not guilty and in an emotional moment, jumped over to hug the people who mattered the most to him.
First, his mother, his sister, and then the love of his life, Rihanna, whose facial expression mirrored her relief.
The case dates back to November 2021, when ASAP Relli accused ASAP Rocky of shooting at him during an altercation near a Hollywood hotel. Relli claimed Rocky pointed a firearm and fired, grazing his hand.
ASAP Rocky denied the allegations and pleaded not guilty to two felony counts of assault with a firearm. After deliberation, the jury found ASAP Rocky not guilty on all charges.
