A$AP Rocky and A$AP Relli Resolve Civil Lawsuit, Ending Prolonged Dispute
A$AP Rocky has effectively closed another chapter in his ongoing legal saga after his former associate, A$AP Relli,
dropped a civil assault lawsuit
tied to a 2021 altercation in Hollywood. Teh decision ends a protracted dispute that followed the rapper’s criminal
acquittal earlier this year. Billboard first reported the news on November 12, 2024.
Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, was previously acquitted of felony assault charges in October 2024 stemming from the same incident.
Background of the Dispute
The legal battle began after a shooting in Hollywood in November 2021. A$AP Relli, whose real name is Terell Ephron,
alleged that Rocky shot him. Rocky was arrested in Sweden in 2019 following an altercation, but was later released.
This 2021 incident led to felony assault charges, which were ultimately dismissed in October 2024 after a jury
found insufficient evidence to convict.
the civil lawsuit filed by Relli sought damages for assault and battery, alleging Rocky intentionally caused him
emotional distress. The dismissal of this lawsuit marks the end of all legal proceedings related to the 2021
incident.
