A$Ap Relli Comes Forward as A$Ap Rocky Shooting Victim, Plans to Sue Him over the Incident

A$AP Relli has revealed himself as the victim of the 2021 shooting involving A$AP Rocky. The incident occurred in the Hollywood section of Los Angeles on Nov. 6, 2021. Relli, whose real name is Terell Ephron, has announced his plans to sue A$AP Rocky over the shooting.

According to a statement from Ephron’s attorneys, Rocky lured Relli to the location under the pretext of a conversation to settle their dispute. However, Rocky allegedly arrived armed with a semi-automatic handgun and intentionally fired multiple shots at Relli without any provocation or warning.

Relli’s attorney has stated that Relli has suffered physical injuries and significant harm to his career in the entertainment industry as a result of the incident. He intends to file a civil lawsuit against A$AP Rocky.

Following the shooting, A$AP Rocky was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon at Los Angeles International Airport on April 20. A raid on his home reportedly resulted in the seizure of multiple guns. Rocky posted a $550,000 bond and was subsequently released.

The Los Angeles Police Department’s statement at the time of the arrest described the incident as an argument between acquaintances that escalated, resulting in the suspect firing a handgun at the victim. The victim sustained a minor injury and later sought medical treatment.

A$AP Rocky’s next court hearing in connection with the shooting is scheduled for Aug. 17.
