A $ Ap Rocky has to answer to court for a shootout in Los Angeles. The rapper threatens up to 24 years in prison.

Rapper A $ AP Rocky (36) has had to answer to court since yesterday for two serious bodily harm.

In the opening plea, the public prosecutor’s office A $ AP Rocky described as the attacker and stated that he had planned to shoot his friend from childhood after an argument. The rapper did not guilty and denied the allegations. The 36-year-old appeared in court in a gray suit and accompanied by several family members, but without a partner Rihanna, with whom he has two children. He wanted to keep his family away from the process, said his lawyer.

According to the authorities, the shootout occurred on November 6, 2021 in Hollywood after a “heated discussion” between A $ Ap Rocky and his former friend Terell Ephron. At first he is supposed to threaten him and even shot him later and slightly injured him by the hand.
