A$AP Rocky was acquitted of felony assault charges, avoiding a potential 24-year prison sentence. His attorney stated Rocky faced uncertainty about his fate before the verdict. The acquittal allows him to continue his successful career, with upcoming appearances at the Rolling Loud festival and the Met Gala. He has also secured a role in Spike Lee's film. Rocky turned down a plea deal for a minor sentence, choosing to defend himself in a trial that could have drastically altered his life.
Rocky had a banner year of fame and glamor in the works that he can now freely embrace.
There was a moment when, before we heard the words from the clerk, he didn't know if he was going to be spending the next two decades in jail or going home.
Thank y'all for saving my life, A$AP Rocky shouted to jurors as they left his trial.
He declined, and said bring it on to a three-week trial and the possibility of a prison sentence of up to 24 years.
