A$AP Rocky Leaps Over Court Barrier To Hug Rihanna After Verdict

UNITED STATES – A$AP Rocky and Rihanna were swarmed by the media outside a Los Angeles criminal court on Tuesday, following a jury verdict that found the rapper not guilty on two felony counts of assault with a semi-automatic weapon.

The charges stemmed from a 2021 altercation with hip-hop artist Terell Ephron, during which Rocky was accused of pointing a handgun at Ephron and firing twice.

The incidents allegedly occurred during heated confrontations on November 6, 2021.

Ephron reported a minor injury after a graze on his knuckles by a bullet.

However, Rocky’s defense maintained that the gun was a prop from a music video that only fired blanks and argued that Ephron was the aggressor.
