ASAP Relli has broken his silence following ASAP Rocky’s acquittal on two felony assault charges.
On Thursday, the former ASAP Mob associate took to Instagram with a cryptic message seemingly addressing the backlash he’s faced since Rocky was found not guilty. “Gossiping is a form of entertainment for people who have no meaningful goals or purpose in life, hate me, bring shame to my name, say bad things about me, I don’t care,” he wrote. “Your existence doesn’t add any value in my life.”
His comments come just days after a Los Angeles jury cleared Rocky of allegations that he fired a gun at Relli during a 2021 altercation in Hollywood. Following the verdict, Rocky embraced Rihanna and his mother in the courtroom, thanking jurors for “saving my life” and “making the right decision.”
Rocky’s attorney, Joe Tacopina, has since called for the District Attorney to investigate Relli for alleged perjury, arguing that he gave false testimony about key details, including the weapon in question. Prosecutors insisted the gun was real, while Rocky maintained it was a prop.
Meanwhile, Rihanna also took to social media to celebrate the verdict, writing, “The glory belongs to God and God alone! Thankful, humbled by his mercy!”
Rocky, who was arrested in April 2022, had pleaded not guilty and turned down a plea deal that would have resulted in 180 days in jail. If convicted, he faced up to 24 years behind bars.
