The man who alleges A$AP Rocky shot at him years earlier on a Hollywood sidewalk continued his testimony Wednesday, telling a downtown Los Angeles courtroom about the night he says the Grammy-nominated rapper opened fire.

A$AP Rocky's awaited trial for allegedly shooting Terell Ephron (formerly A$AP Relli) has begun. Here's how we got here.

LOS ANGELES (CN) — A$AP Relli, the childhood friend of star rapper A$AP Rocky, testified in a Los Angeles court on Tuesday about an angry altercation on the streets of Hollywood in 2021 that led to a shooting.

During the second day of A$AP Rocky's assault trial, the man he is accused of shooting at years earlier on a Hollywood sidewalk took the stand and told jurors he was "furious" when the rapper allegedly pulled on a gun on him.

After evading a crush of cameras outside, Rihanna made a surprise courtroom cameo in the front row of A$AP Rocky’s gun assault trial in Los Angeles on Wednesday, lending her support as her longtime partner fights charges he pulled a semiautomatic firearm and shot live bullets at a former friend three years ago.

A$AP Relli claims that A$AP Rocky threatened his life with a gun, and he was willing to die for his “respect.” With the trial underway, Relli, né Terell Ephron, took the stand on Tuesday (Jan. 28) to recount how the 2021 incident transpired.

A$AP Rocky's accuser, former friend and the key witness at his trial is set to take the stand Tuesday afternoon. Rocky, the rapper and partner of Rihanna, has pleaded not guilty to two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm for allegedly firing at the friend who goes by A$AP Relli.
