Jury to Deliberate in A$AP Rocky's Felony Assault Case Next Week

The rapper faces up to 24 years in prison if convicted of firing a gun at former friend A$AP Relli in a 2021 altercation.

A$AP Rocky is charged with two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm stemming from a 2021 incident in Hollywood involving former friend A$AP Relli.
The defense claims the rapper used a prop gun firing blanks, while the prosecution argues it was a real firearm, with no physical gun presented as evidence by either side.
Closing arguments highlighted conflicting testimonies, with the defense portraying Relli as unreliable and the prosecution calling the prop gun claim implausible.
Rihanna, Rocky's partner, attended court with their two young children during closing arguments, drawing attention and sparking debate over the move's intent.
The jury, set to begin deliberations on Tuesday after a long weekend, will determine whether Rocky acted in self-defense or committed the alleged assault.
