    A viral video showing the moment US rapper, Rakim Mayers better known as A$AP Rocky jumped on his partner, Rihanna, after he was  found not guilty of firing a gun at Terell Ephron, his former friend has surfaced on social media.

    TheNewsGuru reports that Ephron, a friend of the 36-year-old rapper, accused him of firing a handgun at him, on the streets near a Hollywood hotel in 2021, causing minor injuries.

    According to Ephron, the rapper shot at him during an argument on November 6, 2021, grazing his knuckles with one of the shots.

    However, Rocky denied the charges, arguing that the weapon was a prop gun and that Ephron, who had been his friends from high school and was part of the ASAP Mob hip-hop was seeking financial gain.

    On Tuesday, a jury in Los Angeles delivered a not-guilty verdict on two felony assault charges, which carried a maximum sentence of 24 years in prison.

    As the verdict was read, the courtroom erupted in screams and clapping. Rocky rushed to hug his family, including his partner Rihanna and their two sons, RZA and Riot. He also hugged his lawyers and appeared to have tears in his eyes.

    “First of all, we want to thank God,” he said outside the Los Angeles superior court. “We really want to thank the jury for making the right decision. We’re blessed to be here right now, to be a free man talking to y’all.”
