A$AP Rocky & A$AP Relli’s Legal Battle Heats Up: Explosive Text Messages Unveiled in Court
The high-stakes legal showdown between A$AP Rocky and A$AP Relli took a dramatic turn this week as shocking text messages between the two were revealed in court. The messages, presented during Rocky’s ongoing assault trial on Wednesday, added new intensity to an already contentious dispute.
As Relli took the witness stand for the second consecutive day, he reiterated his claim that Rocky tried to kill him during a Hollywood meeting gone wrong—an accusation the rapper has strongly denied.
Relli’s Shocking Accusations: “You Tried to Kill Me”
During the courtroom proceedings, text exchanges between the former A$AP Mob associates painted a heated narrative of betrayal, allegations, and counterattacks.
According to Relli, what was supposed to be a peaceful meeting to resolve longstanding tensions between him and Rocky turned into a setup—one where he allegedly came under gunfire.
Relli’s damning text message to Rocky read:
“You tried to kill me.”
However, Rocky wasted no time denying the claim, firing back in disbelief:
“I tried to do what?? … Stop making s* up Rell.”**
The courtroom listened as attorneys dissected the heated exchange, but things escalated further when Relli hinted that there was video footage of the alleged shooting.
A$AP Rocky Fires Back: “You a Phony, Stop Trying to Extort Me”
Relli’s suggestion that the shooting was caught on tape seemed to push Rocky over the edge, prompting an even sharper response.
Rocky’s alleged reply:
“Now u trynna extort n*** talkin bout I shot at u n shot u 4 times and all type of nonsense, u a phony and u don’t have the best intentions.”**
He didn’t stop there. The rapper made it clear that he wanted no further contact with Relli, sarcastically urging him to call the police if he truly believed he was shot:
“Stop texting me n stop calling my manager and call police if I ‘shot’ @ u u weirdo.”
This heated exchange has now become a key piece of evidence as Rocky fights to prove his innocence against Relli’s allegations.
Rocky’s Defense: “The Gun Was a Prop, Not a Weapon”
Rocky’s attorney, Joe Tacopina, came out swinging in his client’s defense.
His primary argument? The gun in question was a prop weapon incapable of firing live rounds.
Tacopina argued that Relli’s accusations were fabricated and part of an extortion attempt to shake down Rocky for money.
The defense’s strategy appears to hinge on discrediting Relli as an opportunist looking to exploit his past association with the rapper for financial gain.
Rihanna Attends Trial: A Show of Support for Rocky
Adding to the high-profile nature of the case, Rihanna, Rocky’s longtime partner and mother of his children, made her first courtroom appearance during the trial.
Seated in the front row, Rihanna was seen closely observing the proceedings, showing unwavering support for her partner.
She wasn’t alone—Rocky’s mother and sister also attended, marking a strong family presence as the rapper continues to fight the serious allegations against him.
What’s Next in the Trial?
With the text messages now public and both sides digging in, the trial is set to continue with more testimony and evidence review.
As the courtroom drama unfolds, the stakes couldn’t be higher for Rocky, who faces potential legal consequences that could impact both his career and personal life.
For now, all eyes remain on:
- Whether additional evidence—such as video footage—will surface
- How the court will interpret Rocky’s text messages
- Whether Relli’s credibility will hold up under cross-examination
One thing is certain: this legal battle is far from over, and the hip-hop world is watching closely.
