A$AP Rocky Charged With Assaulting His Former Friend With a Gun

“Unbeknownst to Mr. Ephron, A$AP Rocky was not just planning for a conversation and came armed with a semi-automatic handgun,” per the statement to the outlet. “After arriving at the location, a conversation ensued whereby without provocation, warning, or any justification, A$AP Rocky produced the handgun and intentionally fired multiple shots at Mr. Ephron.”

Relli—who filed a civil lawsuit for assault, battery, and emotional distress against Rocky on Aug. 10—alleges he received minor injuries on his left hand, per Rolling Stone. E! News has reached out to Relli’s lawyer for comment but hasn’t heard back.

Rocky was arrested at LAX in April in connection to the 2021 shooting, but was released from police custody after making the $550,000 bail. He hasn’t publicly addressed the claims.

His arraignment is scheduled for Aug. 17.
