ASAP Rocky has been found not guilty on two felony assault charges, bringing an end to his high-profile legal battle. A viral video captures his emotional embrace with Rihanna in court. With his future secured, Rocky expresses gratitude, while fans celebrate the verdict online.
After a dramatic legal battle, rapper ASAP Rocky has been found not guilty of two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm. The verdict, announced after a three-week trial, has sparked massive reactions online, with a viral video capturing the emotional moment he rushed to embrace Rihanna in the courtroom.
The footage, now trending across social media, shows Rocky visibly relieved as he hugs Rihanna, who brought their children, RZA and Riot, to support him. Rihanna, overwhelmed with emotion, was seen wiping away tears while celebrating with his legal team. His mother, also present in court, was deeply moved by the outcome.
The case stemmed from a 2021 altercation involving former friend ASAP Relli, who alleged that Rocky had fired a weapon during a dispute. The rapper could have faced up to 24 years in prison if convicted. However, the jury ruled in his favor, ending a legal saga that had put his career and future at risk.
As he stepped out of court, Rocky expressed gratitude for the support he received. “This whole experience has been crazy these last four years. But I’m thankful, nonetheless, and blessed to be here right now, to be a free man talking to you,” he said.
With the trial behind him, ASAP Rocky now looks forward to resuming his music career and spending time with his family. Meanwhile, the viral video continues to dominate social media, with fans celebrating the rapper’s victory.
