Rakim Atelaston Myers, known as A$AP Rocky and Rihanna’s boyfriend, will return to court in 2021 where a judge will decide whether the musician should be held responsible for shooting his old friend and rapper friend A$AP Relli. Daily mail.
Last year, the artist was tried on charges of assault with a semi-automatic firearm, but he denied two charges. He was released on $550,000 bail in August. On March 14, he was supposed to go to a criminal court in downtown Los Angeles, where Judge Kerry White scheduled a preliminary hearing on June 5, but the rapper did not appear there.
If A$AP Rocky is found guilty, he could face up to four years behind bars for each crime.
The incident occurred in Hollywood in November 2021. Myers and rapper Terrell Efron, a member of the Harlem-based rap group A$AP Mob, got into a big fight. During an argument, A$AP Rocky pointed a gun at Efron and then shot him twice, injuring him in the arm.
Efron filed a civil assault and assault lawsuit, in which his lawyers said Myers “drawn a gun and deliberately pointed it at[Efron’s]side and fired several shots”. In addition to “fearing for his life”, the lawsuit alleges Efron was “shot by a bullet/shrapnel” resulting in injuries that required medical attention.
In April 2022, Rihanna’s boyfriend was arrested at the Los Angeles airport, where she flew with Riri on a private flight after vacationing in Barbados. He was later released on bail. Months later, Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon decided that the charges were serious enough to insist on a felony rather than a misdemeanor status.
Myers is also subject to a protection order that requires him to stay away from Efron for at least 100 years and not have any contact with him.
Previously Focus A$AP wrote that Rocky was accused of assaulting during a street fight in Sweden that drew the attention of other celebrities and US President Donald Trump. He was found guilty and sentenced to a suspended sentence. The victim was ordered to pay compensation.
