Rapper A$AP Rocky grew emotional as the verdict in his shooting trial was announced, with his girlfriend and family by his side. The case stemmed from a dispute with former friend A$AP Relli, who alleged Rocky shot him in the hand during a 2021 altercation.
Once close, their relationship soured over financial and personal issues within the A$AP Mob collective. Rocky, charged with two counts of assault with a semi-automatic firearm, pleaded not guilty.
The trial exposed deep rifts within A$AP, with Relli accusing Rocky of neglecting past friendships and business promises. Despite tensions, Rocky expressed gratitude to the jury with six simple words.
