The rapper was accused of pointing a handgun at a former friend during a heated argument
LOS ANGELES, USA – A Los Angeles jury on Tuesday, February 18 found rapper A$AP Rocky not guilty of two felony counts of assault with a semi-automatic weapon in a 2021 altercation with another hip-hop artist in Hollywood.
Rocky, the romantic partner of singer Rihanna and father of her two sons, was accused of pointing a handgun at a former friend, Terell Ephron, during a heated argument, then firing twice in Ephron’s direction during a second confrontation. Both encounters occurred on November 6, 2021.
Ephron said he suffered a minor injury when his knuckles were grazed by a bullet.
Rocky’s defense attorneys said the gun involved in the incident was a prop gun the artist had used in a music video and that it fired only blanks. They also said Ephron was the aggressor in the confrontation. – Rappler.com
