Two years ago Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky was arrested on felony assault charges after his former A$AP associate A$AP Relli accused Rocky of shooting at him and grazing his hand [click here if you missed that].
Rocky has pled not guilty and is facing up to 12 years if convicted...
From ETonline
A$AP Rocky once again pleaded not guilty to two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm on Monday, at the criminal courthouse in downtown Los Angeles.
Rocky's court appearance comes two months after Superior Court Judge M.L. Villar ruled that the artist will have to stand trial for allegedly firing a gun at his childhood friend, A$AP Relli, outside the W. Hotel in Hollywood on Nov. 6, 2021.
Rocky -- whose real name is Rakim Mayers -- previously pleaded not guilty to the two charges in August 2022. A preliminary hearing was subsequently held to determine if there was sufficient evidence to bring the case to trial.
In the wake of the judges' ruling that Rocky would have to stand trial, he was obligated to resubmit his no guilty plea on Monday. A pre-trial hearing has been set for March 6.
If found guilty, the rapper could face three to 12 years in state prison, according to Shouse California Law Group.
