A$AP Rocky has rejected a final prosecution plea offer of 180 days in jail ahead of his trial for an alleged attack on his former friend, A$AP Relli.
If convicted, the rapper could spend up to 24 years in prison.
Prosecutors wanted the rapper to plead guilty to one of his two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm as part of the deal with Los Angeles County prosecutors recommending a seven-year suspended sentence, three years of probation, and the six-month jail term.
Rocky and Relly allegedly got into a heated dispute near Vista Del Mar and Selma Avenue.
“The argument escalated and resulted in the suspect firing a handgun at the victim,” the police statement. “The victim sustained a minor injury from the incident and later sought his medical treatment. Following the shooting, the suspect and two additional males fled the area on foot. Detectives worked diligently to investigate and corroborate the reporting information, which helped identify the suspect(s) involved.”
His attorney claims the weapon was just a prop gun. Rocky says he is innocent.
