A $ ap Rockys process started in Los Angeles this week.
A $ AP Rocky, who is called Rakim Mayers with a bourgeois name, is currently on trial. In the worst case, he even awaits him in prison for 24 years. But what exactly happened?
A $ ap rocky against A $ ap relli: That happened between the rappers
Mayers are accused of shooting a $ Ap Relli in a confrontation on rap colleague A $ Ap Relli. Relli and Rocky once belonged to the same rap collective called “A $ Ap Mob”, which was founded in Harlem in 2007. At a pre -judicial hearing in 2023, Relli said that he and Rocky had already been friends at school.
But the relationship seemed to suffer from Rocky from the rocket -like success. In November 2021, the two apparently wanted to meet in Los Angeles to clarify their differences. According to the public prosecutor, the peace discussion drifted down in an absolutely wrong direction. The two rappers met in a parking garage, whose cameras were part of the incident. Rocky and Relli seemed to argue briefly and then Rocky – according to the public prosecutor – pulled a gun from his waistband and shot. Relli was touched by the ball on the ankle.
You can see parts of the argument on the tapes, but you don’t see Rocky fired a shot.
In 2022 Mayers was arrested at Los Angeles airport, and he had just returned with Rihanna from Barbados. The father of two was released on the deposit after he had not guilty.
Now the court process begins
Before the court process started on Tuesday (January 21), the public prosecutor’s office A $ AP Rocky then offered a deal: six months in prison, seven years of prison, three years of probation and 500 hours of non -profit work. However, Mayer’s defense rejected the proposed deal and thus decided to prove the musician’s innocence in court.
The lawyer of the “Phoenix” interpreter argued that the weapon, seeing on the video, was only a prop. So it would not be possible to fire real ammunition.
An eyewitness reported the “US Sun” from A $ AP Rocky’s appearance in front of the court in Los Angeles: “With his entourage, he appeared in two darkened SUVs, which were often banned from parking. It was as if the president was in the courtroom, even the Kardashians were more relaxed. Rocky is serious. “
The 36-year-old rapper and entrepreneur is celebrated worldwide for songs such as “L $ D”, “Smoked Away My Brain” or “Sundress”. In addition to his music career, Rocky has now also put a foot in the fashion industry and worked with the famous dior fashion house. He also makes headlines regularly with his private life, because the musician is in a relationship with Popikone Rihanna. Together the two now have two sons.
