Is ASAP Rocky Going to Prison? Shooting Lawsuit Updates

A$ AP Rocky was detained in August 2022 in connection to a shooting occurrence. The abrupt arrest stunned fans all over; he had actually simply returned home from a getaway with Rihanna, and he was captured at the Los Angeles International Airport. Now that the rap artist (whose genuine name is Rakim Athelaston Mayers) is dealing with trial, Hollywood Life has actually put together all the information we understand up until now about the lawsuit and the accusations versus A$ AP Rocky.

What Did ASAP Rocky Do?

According to a press release shared by the LAPD’s X account in 2022, officers detained A$ AP for attack with a fatal weapon (gun). The “Sundress” rap artist was supposedly associated with a shooting occurrence that happened in November 2021 in Hollywood.

” On November 6, 2021, Aaron 10:15 p.m., an argument in between 2 associates happened in the location of Selma Opportunity and Argyle Opportunity in the Hollywood location,” journalism release read. “The argument intensified and led to the suspect shooting a pistol at the victim. The victim sustained a small injury from the occurrence and later on sought his medical treatment. Following the shooting, the suspect and 2 extra males ran away the location on foot.”

Somewhere else in journalism release, the LAPD kept in mind that investigators found that the suspect was A$ AP Rocky. He pleaded innocent to 2 felony counts of attack with a semiautomatic gun, according to the Associated Press.

A$ AP Rocky’s attorney Joe Tacopina states gun attack trial pressed to Jan. 21 “in part” since Rocky due to carry out at advantage show in Bangkok in late Nov
