The rapper, who was supported by his partner Rihanna during the trial, was charged with two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm against former friend Terell Ephron, known as A$AP Relli, in November 2021.
Ahead of the trial, the rapper turned down a final prosecution plea offer - to plead guilty to one of his two felony counts and serve 180 days in prison.
Once close, the pair were both members of the A$AP Mob crew of creators at high school in New York, but their relationship broke down after Rocky became famous, the court was told.
Jurors were shown surveillance videos which prosecutors argued were clear evidence that Rocky fired a gun at Ephron outside a parking garage in Hollywood.
But the 36-year-old's attorney told the court Ephron was driven by "jealousy, lies and greed" and that the gun was actually a "starter pistol" that only shot blanks.
