ASAP Rocky Roars ‘Not Guilty’ in Hollywood Drama, Fireworks in Court as He Denies Firearm Assault Charges

 

ASAP Rocky, the renowned artist, has boldly declared his innocence against two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm. The dramatic plea unfolded during a riveting court hearing in Los Angeles on Monday, adding another layer of suspense to the ongoing legal saga.

In a November ruling, a judge determined that there was sufficient evidence to proceed with a trial regarding the shooting incident involving ASAP Rocky and his former friend and colleague, ASAP Relli. The alleged shooting, which took place on November 6, 2022, in Hollywood, saw Relli claiming that he narrowly escaped harm as one of the bullets grazed his hand.

Rocky’s legal representative, Joe Tacopina, vehemently dismissed the assault allegations as a “false scenario” and a “plain and blatant classic attempt at extortion.” In a statement to Rolling Stone, Tacopina characterized Relli as a “failed ex-associate” of Rocky, accusing him of jealousy and attempting to extort money from the artist. Text messages were cited as evidence, showcasing Relli’s repeated attempts to solicit funds from Rocky while threatening to cause trouble if his demands weren’t met.

The artist, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, made a striking departure from the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center after a preliminary hearing on November 20, 2023. The charges stem from a November 2021 incident where Rocky allegedly pointed a semi-automatic handgun at Terell Ephron and fired multiple shots. Notably, a security footage video from the incident was discussed in court, with Judge M.L. Villar acknowledging that the “actual shooting” wasn’t visible in the clip.

In a legal twist, ASAP Rocky faces not only criminal charges but also a lawsuit from Relli, who alleges assault, battery, negligence, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The complaint was filed in August 2022, adding another layer of complexity to the unfolding courtroom drama.

Stay tuned for the latest developments in ASAP Rocky’s legal journey on Honk Magazine. The courtroom clash promises to be a headline-grabbing spectacle, with each hearing unveiling new twists in this high-profile case.

The hip-hop world is known for its drama, and over the weekend, Rubi Rose found herself at the center of a new controversy. During a heated discussion on the No Jumper podcast, hosts DJ Vlad and DJ Akademiks and guests Wack 100, Adam22, and Traplore Ross brought up old rumors regarding Rose’s past relationships with well-known rappers. Even though these claims are still just rumors, they have sparked a lot of buzz online. DJ Vlad mentioned that Playboi Carti’s team has been trying to get certain content removed where Rose reportedly talked about her time with him.

This led Akademiks to reveal an unreleased video where Rose names four famous rappers she has supposedly dated.

Things got even more complicated with accusations suggesting that Rubi Rose may have been underage during some of these relationships. Although there’s no solid proof for these claims, they have become a hot topic online, with many people questioning their validity and the ethics behind spreading such unverified information.

One ongoing controversy is her relationship with DDG, which has seen rumors of an alleged break-in at his home by Rose herself. The details of that situation remain unclear, but it has only added to the drama surrounding her life. So far, Rubi Rose has not publicly addressed the recent allegations.
