Prosecutors alleged that Mayers twice fired a gun at his former longtime friend and fellow rapper A$AP Relli during a dispute on a Hollywood street.
The defence argued that Mayers fired blanks from a prop gun he had picked up from a music video set, bringing in two members of the rapper’s inner circle to attest to this.
Speaking outside the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center, Mayers shared similar sentiments, telling the press: “First of all, I got to thank God.
Prosecutors alleged that the two men met up in Hollywood on 6 November 2021, and after a scuffle, Rocky pulled the gun and fired twice at his former friend.
On the eve of trial, Mayers 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.
