A$AP Rocky's accuser says he was stunned and enraged when his old friend pulled a gun on him

During the trial, A$AP Rocky's accuser testified he felt both shocked and angry when his old friend displayed a firearm in public

During his trial testimony on Tuesday, A$AP Rocky's accuser and key witness explained that his relationship with Rocky had suffered steadily worse over time until Rocky reached for a gun in Hollywood, which shocked his longtime friend.

“I told him to use it. A$AP Relli wasn't sure what was happening when he saw Rocky holding a gun in his face because “I couldn’t accept it mentally,” according to Relli’s courtroom statements. Staring at his face with physical disbelief, I remained in shock after he pointed the gun at me. The moment became the decisive factor, which sent me crashing into permanent rejection.

Relli's testimony hit a sudden stop at court after he finished detailing the instant Rocky supposedly shot at him.

The music and fashion mogul Rocky, who remains in a long-term relationship with Rihanna, entered a not guilty plea against two felony charges linked to the incident where Relli claims to have been shot at.

Relli told the jury as he testified on Tuesday that his subject was "famous." “I’m nobody.”

The collective group of creators and aspiring entrepreneurs at their New York high school designated themselves A$AP—which stands for Always Strive and Prosper yet carries multiple possible meanings. Under this collective, members found Relli and Rocky, who shared the same group identity. 

The pair stayed linked through the years as Rocky achieved fame and Relli became a music manager.

Facing each other daily, Relli shared that he shared an identical relationship with Rocky that ended when his friend achieved global fame. According to the testimony he provided in court, he disconnected from his closest friend because his new status required him to drop everyone else, including his former friend.

These relationships have stayed this way throughout the whole time. Rocky makes it tough to maintain a relationship with him because he constantly lies throughout their bond, according to Relli. My communication with him usually involved calling him Mr. Six Month Man. He only showed up during scheduled meetings that happened twice every year. 

According to Relli, he would never consider engaging in a fight against famous boxer Rocky because his boxing career would instantly end. Literally over. You don’t have a career.”

He started his testimony with soft words, then became more intense later on.

"I'm overcome with anxiety," he admitted during his statement.

His voice rose to a forceful note when he explained what happened leading to the confrontation.

Rocky used his time in the SUV the previous day with a mutual friend to direct slurs and swear words toward him, according to Relli. Rocky was using audio speaker capabilities during the call, which Rocky failed to notice.

Relli presented texts Rocky sent to him on Nov. 6, 2021, when the incident occurred.

"Where are you at? Let’s get to it,” one read.

When asked about his impression of Rocky Christian's intentions, Relli revealed that he thought Rocky wanted to pick a fight or just engage in argument.

Relli planned the meetup believing it would end in an argument followed by a reconciliation between them. Relli claimed Rocky seemed to possess different intentions during the encounter. Across from the W Hotel, under a parking garage next to the W Hotel stood the trio that included their two crew members from A$AP.

Relli testified that Rocky started cursing obscenities at him before they got close enough to meet and then rushed to attack him while their friend tried to break up the fight.

During the struggle, Rocky revealed his waistband gun to point directly at Relli's face and midsection, according to Relli's testimony.
