Rihanna’s babys father A$AP Rocky is in a world of trouble, Media Take Out has learned.
Two years ago, Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky was charged with felony assault charges for allegedly shooting his former associate A$AP Relli in the hand.
A$AP Relli sued Rihanna’s babys father in civil court, Media Take Out has learned, and if the two had settled the lawsuit – Relli would have been barred from testifying against A$AP – and thus ended the possibility of any prison time for A$AP.
But instead of paying to shut up Relli, Rocky’s lawyer called the lawsuit an extortion attempt. He said, “Rocky didn’t commit a crime. It was an extortion attempt by a former associate, who threatened to make false criminal accusations if Rocky didn’t pay him.”
Well …. now Rocky may end up in prison.
Yesterday Media take Out confirmed that Relli testified that Rocky threatened to k*ll him, before pulling the trigger.
A$AP Relli, real name Terell Ephron, took the stand Wednesday in a preliminary hearing to the assault case in Los Angeles. Here’s how TMZ described what he said:
Relli says he began resenting Rocky for moves he perceived as dishonest, such as allegedly promising to help support a slain A$AP Mob member’s family … which Relli claims Rocky never did. All their bad blood allegedly came to a head that fateful night.
According to Relli, Rocky called him and demanded to know where he was, and they ended up meeting at an L.A. hotel — which he thought might be a chance to squash their beef. Instead, Relli claims Rocky and some goons rolled up on him … and things got heated, with a gun allegedly being drawn.
Relli claims harsh words were exchanged, and Rocky put the gun to his stomach … allegedly saying, “I’ll kill you right now.” Relli testified Rocky didn’t shoot right then and there, but claims the bullets started flying shortly thereafter as they separated.
At that point, Relli says he felt his hand get hot and knew he’d been hit … and alleges Rocky fired around 4 times before taking off running and leaving him there on the street. Relli says he didn’t go to cops until a full day later out of fear.
