A$AP Relli Reacts to Rocky’s Not Guilty Verdict with a Side of Shade

So, A$AP Rocky’s fans can breathe a sigh of relief because the rapper was found not guilty on two felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon, and now A$AP Relli, the man at the center of the controversy, is finally breaking his silence. Relli, who alleged that Rocky (real name Rakim Mayers) shot at him back in 2021, took to Instagram like a modern-day oracle, throwing major shade with a post on February 20. “Gossiping is a form of entertainment for people who have no meaningful goals,” he quipped, suggesting he’s ready to rise above the noise. So classy, right?

Meanwhile, Rocky was clearly elated by the verdict, diving into the gallery to hug his girlfriend, Rihanna, who just can’t stop beaming about her man. After four tumultuous years, Rocky told reporters, “I’m thankful and it’s blessed to be here right now.” Clearly, the courtroom drama was more than just a stressful chapter; it was life-changing. He expressed immense gratitude as he left the courthouse, letting those jurors know just how much their decision impacted him: “Thank y’all for saving my life.”

Rocky’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina, didn’t pull any punches, labeling Relli as “an angry pathological liar” during closing arguments—ouch! But Relli’s not backing down, and his social media comments hint at a deeper resolve. It’s like we’re living in a hip-hop episode of “The Twilight Zone” right now!

And then there’s Rihanna, who seemingly can’t contain her happiness. After the verdict, she praised God on her Instagram, saying, “THE GLORY BELONGS TO GOD AND GOD ALONE!” It’s not just Instagram hype; Rihanna often talks about her love for motherhood and the joy Rocky and their two kids bring to her life.

After years of ups and downs, will this finally be the turning point for Rocky and Relli? Only time will tell. But in the celebrity world, don’t be surprised if we get more drama soon—because what’s a little controversy without a sequel?
