A $ ap Rocky Felony Assault Ju-deliberations at the Assault trial are scheduled to begin Tuesday morning.
Rakim Mayers, A$AP Rocky, has been accused of firing his ex-friend Terell Ephron (two shots also known as A$AP Relli) on a Hollywood street corner in 2021.
The lawyer is clashing with key questions between the two rappers. Was the gun real or was it a prop?
Prosecutors say it was the real thing, but the defense argues it was a prop gun that shot the blank. Efron says his knuckles were grazing on one of the shots, but he was not seriously injured. Rocky’s lawyer says he picked up props for security while filming a music video.

The Grammy-nominated rapper faces two felony assaults with a semi-automatic firearm. He pleaded not guilty.
If convicted, he could face up to 24 years in prison. He initially refused a pre-trial plea deal that could have ended in 180 days of prison.
Judge Mark Arnold asked the ju judge to avoid personal feelings about the rapper and his partner and the mother of his child, Rihanna. Last week, the singer took the couple’s two-year-old and one-year-old son to court.
