As a dedicated fan of ASAP Rocky, who has followed his career since the days of “Purple Swag,” I must say this news about the delay of his trial till January 2025 is a bit disheartening. It feels like the legal system is moving at a snail’s pace, but then again, justice isn’t always swift, right?
According to the latest updates on ASAP Rocky’s trial, it appears that the judge has rescheduled the next court date from November 2023 to January 2025.
For those less familiar, the artist known as “I Smoked Away My Brain” found himself embroiled in a legal dispute stemming from an event that occurred in 2021, according to his ex-friend and the accuser, ASAP Relli.
The news of ASAP Rocky’s trial comes from the recently held hearing on October 22 in Los Angeles.
After the October 22, 2024 court trial, Joe Tacopina, the lawyer for the Good for You artist, stated that the hearing had been rescheduled to January 21, 2025, because of a scheduling issue involving ASAP Rocky’s performance at Rolling Loud Thailand in 2024.
The events were shifted due to Rocky having a charity concert scheduled in Bangkok towards the end of November, as mentioned by Tacopina to the media. Additionally, he noted that there are some ongoing “discovery matters” being handled by Rocky’s legal team.
Joe Tacopina continued by stating that since the upcoming festive season starts next month, including Thanksgiving and Christmas which are typically spent with loved ones, he believes everyone agreed that scheduling this for January would be optimal. He emphasized that this is a fixed date.
In conversation with the media, Tacopina stated that if the judge had requested the presence of the “Am I Dreaming” artist and his lawyers at the upcoming trial on November 12, they would undoubtedly be there as arranged.
However, ‘he was very accommodating,” added the lawyer of ASAP Rocky about the judge.
Additionally, Tacopina pointed out that Rocky was eager to wrap up the trial so he could be with his loved ones, which include music icon Rihanna, as well as their children RZA and Riot Rose.
The Praise the Lord artist has been accused of firing a semi-automatic handgun at Relli, the plaintiff.
According to papers from legal records shared by PEOPLE, someone (the plaintiff) filed a lawsuit against Rocky on August 10, 2022, claiming assault, battery, and emotional distress. However, Rocky, also known as the Purple Swag artist, has refuted these allegations.
The case hearing occurred after the January trial, during which ASAP Rocky declared his innocence.
Last November, a judge decided there was sufficient evidence to take the case to trial, based on the accusations made.
According to Relli’s statements, he sustained injuries from bullet shards after the dispute with Rocky. He mentioned during the trial that he underwent treatment at a hospital located in New York City.
