A Los Angeles jury has acquitted A$AP Rocky of two felony assault charges connected to a 2021 incident in Hollywood involving another rapper, Terell Ephron. The jury delivered a not guilty verdict, prompting Rocky to leap into the gallery, embracing supporters amid courtroom cheers.

Rocky, alongside his partner Rihanna and their sons, faced the charges which stemmed from allegations that he brandished a handgun during a heated exchange with Ephron. The defense argued the weapon was a prop for a music video and only discharged blanks.
