A$AP Rocky has pleaded not guilty yesterday in Los Angeles to two charges of assault with a semiautomatic firearm.

The alleged shooting is said to have happened on November 6, 2021, in Hollywood including an alleged non-fatal shooting at former A$AP Mob member A$AP Relli.

Rocky, real name Rakim Athelaston Mayers, was arrested in connection with the shooting at Los Angeles International Airport in April on his way back from a vacation with his girlfriend Rihanna.

Last week, A$AP Relli came forward claiming to be the victim of the shooting with his attorney explaining that he had received “multiple death threats and irreparable harm to his career in the entertainment industry as a result of this incident.”

As well as this, Relli is suing Rocky over assault and battery, negligence, and emotional distress according to Rolling Stone, which would mean that Rocky could face nine years in prison if convicted.

Rocky’s lawyer, Sara L. Caplan asked Judge Victoria Wilson at the arraignment if the rapper is allowed to travel for work which the judge replied according to Rolling Stone that Rocky should “clear dates” with the prosecutors.
