A$AP Rocky’s Recent Legal History
A$AP Rocky faced his own legal troubles less than a year ago. In February 2025, the Grammy-nominated artist was acquitted on all charges in a 2021 shooting case involving former friend A$AP Relli. Rocky had been charged with two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and faced up to 24 years in prison if convicted. Following three weeks of testimony, a jury returned a not guilty verdict on February 18, 2025.
The rapper declined to testify during the trial, which centered on an alleged incident in Hollywood, California where he allegedly fired in the direction of Terrell Ephron, who goes by A$AP Relli. Prior to his acquittal, Rocky had been exploring fashion opportunities, including cochairing the 2025 Met Gala and taking on positions with Ray-Ban and Puma.
