  • Oscar-winning director Spike Lee is among those celebrating ASAP Rocky's acquittal. Rocky was found not guilty on Tuesday of two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm. Rocky was arrested in 2022 in connection with what police described at the time as an argument that had escalated into gunfire one year prior.

ASAP Rocky was acquitted of two felony counts of assault with a firearm in a Los Angeles courtroom, following a high-profile trial that captured widespread attention. The verdict led to reactions from various celebrities and public figures. Rapper 50 Cent expressed relief and support for Rocky on social media, while filmmaker Spike Lee celebrated the outcome, emphasizing the importance of justice. Other reactions included comments from fans and legal analysts who discussed the implications of the case on social media platforms. The trial stemmed from an altercation in November 2021, where Rocky was accused of firing a gun at a former friend, Terell Ephron, also known as A$AP Relli. Despite the intense media scrutiny and the gravity of the charges, the jury found Rocky not guilty, leading to a wave of support and discussions about the legal system's handling of celebrity cases.
