Rapper A$AP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, has been acquitted of charges alleging he shot his former friend, Terell “A$AP Relli” Ephron, during a 2021 incident in Hollywood. The Los Angeles jury delivered a unanimous not guilty verdict on February 18, 2025, after approximately three hours of deliberation, concluding a three-week trial
The charges stemmed from a November 6, 2021, confrontation in which Ephron accused Mayers of firing a semi-automatic firearm at him. Mayers faced two felony counts of assault with a semi-automatic firearm, carrying a potential sentence of up to 24 years in prison.
Throughout the trial, Mayers maintained his innocence, asserting that he had used a prop gun that fired blanks during the altercation. His defense highlighted the absence of physical evidence, such as shell casings or the firearm itself, to support the prosecution’s claims. Witnesses, including fellow A$AP Mob members A$AP Twelvyy and A$AP Lou, corroborated Mayers’ account, though the prosecution suggested their testimonies were influenced.Upon hearing the verdict, an emotional Mayers expressed gratitude to the jury, stating, “Thank y’all for saving my life.” He then embraced his partner, Rihanna, who was present throughout the trial and visibly tearful during the proceedings.
The acquittal allows Mayers to resume his personal and professional life, including upcoming commitments in the music and fashion industries. The Los Angeles District Attorney’s office acknowledged the jury’s decision, reaffirming their commitment to pursuing justice in all cases.
