A$AP Rocky‘s Lawyer Scores a Visible Win in Assault with a Firearm Case by Revealing Text Messages That Prove the Alleged Victim Implicitly Confirmed Nothing Actually Happened Between Them. In a significant turn during A$AP Rocky’s assault trial, defense attorneys present text messages suggesting the alleged victim, A$AP Relli, implicitly acknowledged that no shooting incident occurred.
The ongoing legal battle involving rapper A$AP Rocky, born Rakim Mayers, has taken a pivotal turn. Charged with two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, Rocky faces allegations from former friend Terell Ephron, known as A$AP Relli, who claims that Rocky fired a gun at him during a 2021 altercation. The trial has garnered significant media attention, with recent developments potentially influencing its outcome.
Revelation of Text Messages
A critical moment in the trial occurred when Rocky‘s defense attorney, Joe Tacopina, introduced text messages exchanged between Rocky and Relli shortly after the alleged incident. In these messages, Relli accused Rocky of setting him up and attempting to kill him. Rocky responded emphatically, denying the allegations and expressing disbelief at Relli’s claims. He wrote, “I tried to do what?? … Stop making s*** up Rell.”Â
When Relli mentioned potential video evidence of the shooting, Rocky retorted, “Now u trynna extort n***** talkin bout i shot at u n shot u 4 times and all type of nonsense, u a phony and u dont have the best intentions, stop texting me n stop calling my manager and call police if i ‘shot’ @ u u weirdo.”

Implications of the Evidence
The defense argues that these text exchanges demonstrate Relli’s inconsistent narrative and suggest an attempt to extort Rocky. Tacopina contends that Rocky was in possession of a prop gun incapable of firing real bullets during the meeting with Relli, thereby challenging the credibility of the shooting allegations.
Furthermore, during cross-examination, Relli admitted to deleting certain text messages before contacting law enforcement, which the defense suggests could indicate an effort to manipulate the narrative.

Ongoing Trial Developments
As the trial progresses, both the prosecution and defense continue to present evidence and testimonies to support their respective positions. The introduction of the text messages has become a focal point, with the defense asserting that they undermine Relli’s credibility and the prosecution maintaining that the core allegations remain substantiated. Notably, Rihanna, Rocky’s partner and the mother of his two children, has been present in the courtroom, offering support during the proceedings.
The disclosure of these text messages marks a significant development in A$AP Rocky’s assault trial, potentially influencing the jury’s perception of the events in question. As the legal process unfolds, the presented evidence will play a crucial role in determining the outcome.
