A$AP Rocky Trial Set for January 21

A$AP Rocky is scheduled to stand trial in Los Angeles on January 21, 2024, for allegedly firing a gun at his former friend Terell Ephron in November 2021. The rapper, who has pleaded not guilty to two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, had his trial postponed from an initial date of November 12 to accommodate his performance at the Rolling Loud music festival in Thailand. Superior Court Judge Mark S. Arnold will allow video cameras in the courtroom during the trial, which is expected to last about two weeks. If convicted, Rocky could face up to 24 years in prison. His defense attorney expressed confidence that Rocky will clear his name, emphasizing his eagerness to resolve the case, which has been marred by delays. The outcome of the trial may impact Rocky's ability to attend the upcoming Met Gala, where he is a co-chair.
