On the eve of trial, Rocky turned down a prosecution offer of just six months in jail, along with probation and other conditions, if he would plead guilty to one count.
In a video shared on X, someone could be heard asking Rocky (real name Rakim Mayers): “A$AP how does it feel losing your childhood best friend?”.
He left the trail with Rihanna who attended much of the trial and brought their two toddler sons — RZA, two, and Riot, one — to closing arguments.
Prosecutors alleged that Rocky twice fired a gun at Relli, real name Terrell Ephron, when they met up in Hollywood on November 6, 2021.
Rocky’s lawyer Joe Tacopina said in his closing argument that Relli is “an angry pathological liar” who “committed perjury again and again and again and again.”.
