A$AP Rocky, the Harlem rapper known for his hit songs and unique style, is now facing a trial date in the shooting of his former friend and crew member, A$AP Relli. After pleading not guilty to the charges, Rocky is set to stand trial on October 21, with preliminary hearing dates scheduled for June and August.

The incident, which took place in Hollywood in 2021, allegedly stemmed from a heated argument between the two men. Relli claims that Rocky arrived at a meeting with multiple men, pointed a gun at him, and threatened his life before shooting him multiple times. A video shown in court captured the sound of gunshots, providing crucial evidence for the prosecution.

In addition to the criminal charges, Relli is also suing Rocky and his attorney for defamation, alleging that they have spread false information about the incident. The trial is expected to be a high-profile case, drawing attention from fans and the media alike.

If found guilty, Rocky could face up to 24 years in prison for the assault charges. The rapper, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, has maintained his innocence throughout the legal proceedings. As the trial date approaches, all eyes will be on the courtroom to see how the case unfolds. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
