Cheers erupted as the verdict was announced. Rihanna, who supported her partner throughout the proceedings, embraced him in joy. Fans outside the courthouse also expressed their excitement. According to 'Daily Mail,' A$AP Rocky thanked the jury, saying, "Thanks y´all for saving my life."
Trial with a surprising end
The trial was dramatic. A$AP Relli claimed that Rocky had threatened him with a gun and shot him, injuring his hand. However, the defense argued that Rocky only had a prop gun with him. Two members of the hip-hop collective Asap Mob confirmed this in court. Despite the serious accusations, Rocky was able to prove his innocence.
