Meanwhile, A$AP Rocky and his lawyer will be joining forces in a bid to beat his court case, slated to begin on Monday, October 21.
The rapper is facing trial after pleading not guilty to two counts of assault involving a semi-automatic firearm. Rocky is accused of shooting at his former friend and collaborator A$AP Relli outside a Hollywood hotel in November 2021. The shooting is said to have followed an argument during which Rocky allegedly pointed and fired a gun at Relli.Â
During a preliminary hearing, footage of the incident confirmed a scuffle took place. However, the shooting was not captured clearly on the recording. According to Relli’s witness testimony, during the incident, Rocky allegedly stated, “I’ll kill you right now,” before shooting at him. The bullet grazed Relli’s hand, and he alleges Rocky fired two or three more shots before fleeing.Â
