Prosecutors began laying out their case Friday against hip-hop star ASAP Rocky, aka Rakim Mayers, in a 2021 shooting incident in Hollywood. If convicted, Mayers faces nearly 20 years in prison.

A$AP Rocky 's accuser, former friend and the key witness testified Tuesday that their relationship had long been tense, and came to a head in the days before Rocky is alleged to have fired a handgun at him.

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.

Rakim Mayers, better known as the rapper ASAP Rocky, will headline the Rolling Loud festival and serve as a chair of the Met Gala this year — as long as he dodges a conviction at his trial for a 2021 Hollywood 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.
