A$AP Rocky just made a pretty bold move early on in his trial.
A$AP Rocky has rejected a plea deal offered at the onset of his firearm assault trial in Los Angeles.
According to reports, prosecutors proposed 3 years of probation, a 7-year suspended prison sentence, and 180 days in county jail if Rocky pleaded guilty to one of the charges. However, the rapper dismissed the offer with a composed response: “I respectfully decline, thank you.”
This decision has sent shockwaves through fans and legal analysts alike. A$AP Rocky is facing two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, stemming from allegations that he fired a gun at his former friend and collaborator, Terell Ephron (aka A$AP Relli), during a November 2021 altercation in Hollywood. While Ephron claims the bullets grazed him, the charges carry the potential for a prison sentence of up to 24 years if Rocky is convicted.
On the music front, fans are eagerly awaiting A$AP Rocky’s upcoming album, Don’t Be Dumb. The rapper has already dropped standout singles like “Ruby Rosary” featuring J. Cole and “Tailor Swif,” fueling excitement for the full project.
With his legal battle underway, A$AP Rocky’s next moves are being closely watched by fans, the media, and the music industry. We’ll see how this unfolds.
