What was the outcome of A$AP Rocky's felony assault trial?

A$AP Rocky (Rakim Myers) was found not guilty in his felony trial for assault with a semi-automatic firearm. The jury reached this verdict after only three hours of deliberation, dismissing allegations from 2021 that he had fired a gun at a former friend. The rapper had claimed during his defense that it was merely a prop gun that caused no real harm. The courtroom witnessed a dramatic reaction as Rocky celebrated the verdict with his partner Rihanna. This outcome was particularly significant as he had been facing a potential prison sentence of up to 24 years if convicted.
