Rapper A$AP Rocky To Stand Trial For Allegedly Shooting At Old Friend

Published

on

US rapper A$AP Rocky will stand trial for twice pulling a gun on a former friend and shooting at him once, a court in Los Angeles ruled Monday.

The 35-year-old, who has two children with R&B star Rihanna, is being prosecuted on two counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm. He has denied the charges.

The court heard how Terell Ephron, one of the founding members of the A$AP collective, was left slightly injured after the confrontation in Hollywood in November 2021.

At a hearing last week, Ephron, known by his stage name A$AP Relli, said the friendship between the two men had soured, accusing him of abandoning other members of the group, which was founded in New York in 2008.


While A$AP Rocky — whose real name is Rakim Mayers — had gone on to fame and fortune, other members of the collective have descended into poverty and drug use, he said.

After the death of one member of the group, the two men clashed in an encounter partially caught on surveillance camera.

Ephron said Mayers pulled a gun and thrust it towards his stomach, saying “I’ll kill you right now.”

In a later altercation, Ephron said he told his former friend he had “failed everybody” but that nobody was brave enough to tell him.


“I just wanted him to hear my side,” Ephron said, adding that Mayers had then shot at him, with the bullet grazing his left hand.

Mayers, who is free on bail, was ordered to be arraigned on January 8.

The hip-hop legend disclosed in a clip of an interview that went viral on Tuesday that ‘Me & U’ by Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, is his current favourite song.

“My current song on repeat is ‘Me & U’ by Tems,” he said.


‘Me & U’ is the lead single of Tems’ critically acclaimed debut studio album ‘Born In The Wild.’

The song sparked controversy after it won the Bobby Jones Best Gospel/Inspirational Award with her song, ‘Me & U’ at the 2024 BET Awards.

Critics argued that a song by a secular artist shouldn’t have won the category ahead of gospel legends like Kirk Franklin, Shirley Caesar, CeCe Winans and the Maverick City Music.
