A$AP Rocky jokingly inducts lawyer into A$AP Mob following not guilty verdict

A$AP Rocky has jokingly inducted his lawyer into the “A$AP Mob” following his not guilty verdict yesterday (February 18).

The rapper was found not guilty after a recent trial about his role in a shooting incident in 2021.

After a nearly month-long trial in Los Angeles, A$AP Rocky was found innocent on all counts by an LA jury after being charged for allegedly firing a gun at his former friend A$AP Relli in the Hollywood area in 2021.

Rocky faced 24 years in prison after the rapper turned down a plea deal for 180 days in jail.

As per a report in the LA Times, a loud roar erupted in the courtroom when the clerk read out the jury’s verdict of not guilty. Among the first people to celebrate the verdict was Rocky’s partner Rihanna, who he rushed to for a hug. The LA Times reported that A$AP Rocky thanked the jury for “saving my life” following the verdict, and added that they “made the right decision”.

Outside of court, the rapper’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina spoke about the not guilty verdict alongside A$AP and his partner, Rihanna. It was here where A$AP joked about him joining the “A$AP Mob” – a reference to a hip hop collective the rapper is a part of.
