Just over a week after A$AP Rocky walked free from a felony assault trial, A$AP Relli (Terell Ephron) isn’t giving up. Despite Rocky’s acquittal, Relli is pushing forward with his civil lawsuit, aiming to hold the Harlem rapper accountable in civil court.

On Wednesday (Feb. 26), Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge William Fahey officially set the trial date for Jan. 12, 2026—confirming that this legal battle will continue to move forward.

Relli’s attorney, Melisa Mikail, made it clear during the hearing that her client isn’t letting go of the case, citing the lower burden of proof in civil cases.

“We intend to continue litigating this case,” Mikail said. “The standard in a criminal case is much higher than the preponderance of the evidence standard in a civil matter. We still believe that our claims have merit, and we intend on fully litigating them.”

Rocky’s legal team, however, is calling foul. James Sargent, who represents Rocky in the civil case, argued that Relli already had his shot in the criminal case and lost.

“There’s no longer a basis for the case,” Sargent stated. “Mr. Ephron testified in the criminal case as to the facts and circumstances. The jury’s acquittal speaks volumes as to how they valued that testimonial evidence.”

The next hearing in the civil case, which was originally filed in 2022, is scheduled for May 28, 2025.
