50 Cent, Kanye West & others celebrate A$AP Rocky’s acquittal

The final verdict is in. A$AP Rocky has been found not guilty on two assault charges that stemmed from his former friend A$AP Relli saying he shot him in Hollywood in 2021.

The rapper was facing up to 24 years in prison if convicted, and he pleaded not guilty. Now that he's been acquitted, it’s a moment of celebration for his fans and people who were rooting for him.

50 Cent posted an image of Rocky on Instagram and said he predicted the outcome. 50 clearly had faith in the Harlem rapper and believed that he would come out the other side not guilty. When the verdict was made public, 50 wrote, “I would bet 500,000 K he gonna beat it when ASAP Tellie started getting tired of telling 5 days straight.”

Plus, fans on the internet are elated to hear the verdict going in Rocky’s favor. One fan wrote, “s--t brings tears to my eyes man.”

Rocky shared a heartwarming moment with Rihanna inside the courtroom after the verdict was announced. As soon as the rapper heard “Not guilty,” he jumped over the courtroom divider to give her a hug.

Fans also took the opportunity to remind Rocky that there’s a hip-hop career that he put aside for a long time. One fan wrote, “DROP THE ALBUM NOW ASAP ROCKY.”

Rocky’s last project TESTING was released in 2018. So, it’s not surprising that his fans are now demanding him to get back in the booth and drop new music.

Then mere hours after the verdict, the 36-year-old took to social media to promote his next album.

Another person who reacted to the verdict is Kanye West. You can see his post below.
