Incident in Hollywood
ASAP Rocky on trial for shooting ex-buddy
ASAP Rocky is to stand trial for shooting a former friend in Los Angeles. The US rapper's lawyer once again denied the allegations against his client at the start of the trial on Friday. The life partner of pop star Rihanna only had a "prop weapon" with him during the incident.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The rapper, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, is charged by the public prosecutor with two counts of assault with a semi-automatic weapon. According to his former friend Terell Ephron, ASAP Rocky first threatened him with the gun during an argument in Hollywood in November 2021 and then shot him. Ephron, who goes by the rapper ASAG Relli, was slightly injured.
This is not the first time that Mayers has come into conflict with the law. In 2019, the rapper was arrested in the Swedish capital Stockholm after a street brawl. He was released after more than a month in custody and was later given a suspended sentence for assault. In his private life, ASAP Rocky has recently made more positive headlines: He and Rihanna are now parents to two children.
