UNBELIEVABLE: “Rihanna Spends $15 Million to Clear A$AP Rocky’s Name After Pistol Shooting Incident, Avoiding Prison” The Case was… Read more…

Rapper A$AP Rocky was found not guilty Tuesday of firing a handgun at a former friend on a Hollywood street in 2021.

Los Angeles jurors deliberated for only about three hours before clearing him of two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm.

The 36-year-old hip-hop star, fashion mogul and burgeoning actor — whose legal name is Rakim Mayers — risked more than 24 years in prison if he had been convicted.

On the eve of trial, he turned down a prosecution offer of just six months in jail, along with probation and other conditions, if he would plead guilty to one count.

Insisting on his innocence, and with two young toddler sons at home along with his longtime partner Rihanna, the 36-year-old Rocky decided to gamble that a jury would feel the same. It paid off. The jurors felt at least that there was reasonable doubt of his guilt.

Rihanna attended the trial sporadically and brought the couple’s two sons — 2-year-old RZA Athelston Mayers and 1-year-old Riot Rose Mayers — for some of the closing arguments.The verdict came at the height of Rocky’s fame, if not the pinnacle of his music career. The three-time Grammy nominee has a banner year in the works, and can now look to it without the threat of prison hanging over him.

He is scheduled to headline the Rolling Loud music festival in March; he is one of the celebrity co-chairs of fashion’s biggest night, the Met Gala, in May; and he stars with Denzel Washington in director Spike Lee’s film “Highest 2 Lowest,” set for release in early summer.

1 MIN AGO: Barack O.b.a.m.a STOPS T.r.u.m.p Cold After Attack on Michelle — STUNNING Response Rocks D.C. It began as just another chaotic media blitz from Donald T.r.u.m.p—until he crossed a line that instantly detonated across Washington. After launching a heated attack on Michelle O.b.a.m.a, T.r.u.m.p expected backlash… but he never anticipated this. In a moment straight out of a political thriller, Barack O.b.a.m.a stepped forward and delivered a response so sharp, so controlled, and so devastating that the entire capital froze. Inside sources say the reaction behind the scenes was pure panic for T.r.u.m.p’s camp.
