“LOS ANGELES – Grammy-nominated hip-hop artiste A$AP Rocky was found not guilty of shooting a former collaborator on Feb 18. The jury deliberated for nearly three hours in a case that threatened to derail his career.

Rocky, 36, born Rakim Mayers, faced two felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon, stemming from an altercation with his one-time friend, Terell Ephron, a rapper known as A$AP Relli, near a Hollywood hotel in 2021. Rocky dived into the gallery to hug his family – including pop star and beauty mogul Rihanna, who is the mother of his two young sons – and embraced his lawyer, Mr Joe Tacopina, after the verdict was read.” https://www.straitstimes.com/life/entertainment/aap-rocky-acquitted-of-shooting-former-friend#:~:text=LOS%20ANGELES%20%E2%80%93%20Grammy,verdict%20was%20read.
