A$AP Rocky’s Assault Trial Begins, Faces Up to 24 Years if Convicted

A$AP Rocky’s highly anticipated assault trial begins tomorrow (January 23) in Los Angeles. The rapper, 36, faces two felony charges of assault with a semiautomatic firearm for allegedly shooting Terell Ephron, also known as A$AP Relli, during a 2021 argument in Hollywood.

The trial is expected to last approximately three weeks. Rocky, who pleaded not guilty in January 2024, could face a maximum sentence of 24 years in prison if convicted. The case has drawn significant attention due to the allegations involving members of the A$AP Mob and the severity of the potential consequences.

As the trial unfolds, it will mark a pivotal moment for the rapper, both legally and in his career. Fans and the hip-hop community are closely watching for developments.
