#asaprocky has been acquitted in his Los Angeles assault trial after nearly four weeks of proceedings. The jury delivered its verdict on Tuesday, following a break on Monday for President’s Day. The courtroom erupted in cheers as the first not-guilty verdict was announced, with Rocky embracing those around him and exclaiming, “Thank y’all for saving my life.” The rapper, born Rakim Mayers, was charged in 2022 with two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm. The charges stemmed from a 2021 altercation with former friend A$AP Relli, who alleged that Rocky confronted him in a Hollywood parking garage and fired a gun at him. Rocky denied the accusations, and his defense argued that Relli misrepresented key details of the incident. If convicted, he could have faced up to 24 years in prison.
