A$AP Rocky has been acquitted after a jury found him not guilty of felony assault with a semi-automatic firearm. This verdict followed a trial where he maintained he had fired blanks from a prop weapon during a 2021 incident. Rihanna supported him during the trial, bringing their two sons to court. The charges could have led to a prison sentence of over 24 years, and Rocky turned down a plea deal that would have included six months in jail. His acquittal now allows him to focus on upcoming events without legal worries.
