A $ AP Rocky was acquitted yesterday, February 18, of accusations of firearm aggression by the Los Angeles Court. The rapper, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, faced a possible arrest scenario after Terell ‘Rlli’ Ephron, former friend and collaborator, accused him of having shot him during a Hollywood dispute in November 2021.
Between emotion and applause, A $ Ap Rocky ran to hug family and girlfriend Rihanna, who was by her side throughout the process.
“Thank you all for saving my life. Thanks. Thank you all. You are making the right decision, ”said the artist, addressing the jury elements after reading the verdict.
The accusation was based on Ephron’s testimony, which claimed Mayers fired at him, reaching his hand with a scrape. However, the weapon was never found, which proved to be a decisive factor in the trial. The defense argued that it was a prop, with empty cartridges, a version consistent with that of the rapper.
If convicted, $ AP Rocky could face up to 24 years in prison. His acquittal puts an end to a case that has kept fans attentive in recent months.
