A$AP Rocky’s Ex-Friend A$AP Relli Testifies, ‘Can’t Believe He Pulled Gun On Me’
A$AP Rocky Assault Trial
‘You Better Use That S***!!!’
A$AP Relli Testifies About Gun Standoff
Published
A$AP Rocky‘s alleged victim, and former friend, says he couldn’t believe Rocky would pull a gun on him, and he boldly dared him to pull the trigger.
A$AP Relli took the stand Tuesday in the rapper’s assault trial, and recounted the moment he first saw the gun Rocky allegedly pulled on him during their heated 2021 arguemnt.
Relli, whose government name is Terell Ephron, told the jury it all unfolded very quickly, and upon seeing the gun he blurted out, “You better use that s**t, what the f**k you got a gun for?”
He testified, “I was willing to die for my respect. If this is what you want to do, I still have my dignity.”
He says the day before the alleged shooting he was present for a phone call between Rocky and A$AP Bari where Rocky talked crap about him with Bari — and his friendship with Rocky, which started in high school, had deteriorated.

The next day, Relli claims Rocky started blowing up his phone while he was asleep — which was unusual because he claims Rocky rarely reached out to him — and he woke up to a FaceTime from Rocky.
Relli claims Rocky had texted him, “Let’s get to it … stop ducking my calls” … while he was asleep, which he interpreted as Rocky wanting beef.
He claims Rocky asked him where he was, made him show the Hollywood hotel where he was staying and showed up shortly with 2 “goons” by his side. While they argued, he says Rocky pulled the gun from his waistband and pulled the trigger … with a bullet grazing Relli’s knuckles.
As for Rocky’s attorney claiming the gun was a movie prop and could not fire the ammo found on the scene — Relli testified he’s never seen Rocky with a prop gun, or any gun, for that matter, prior to that day.
Court ended for the day with Relli still on the stand, so expect more testimony Wednesday morning … when, as TMZ first reported, Rihanna, Rocky’s partner and mother of his 2 kids, will be seated in the gallery to support her man.
Rocky is charged with 2 felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and is facing a maximum of 24 years in prison, if convicted. He pleaded not guilty and has already rejected a plea deal.
Joe Tacopina, Rocky’s attorney, has called Relli’s allegations bogus … claiming Relli is trying to extort Rocky.
The trial’s been pretty interesting so far … there was testimony from ‘RHOB’ star Erika Jayne‘s son, a LAPD officer who arrived at the scene.

Lions’ Amik Robertson Says Jets In ‘Good Hands’ W/ Aaron Glenn, Predicts ‘Great Things’
Lions Star Amik Robertson
Jets Are In Good Hands With Glenn
… ‘He’s Going to Do Great Things!!!’

Jets fans are going to love this … one of Aaron Glenn‘s former players tells TMZ Sports New York’s new head coach is going to have them winning games in no time!!
Lions star cornerback Amik Robertson raved over Glenn in a sit-down with us this week … just days after the former Detroit defensive coordinator accepted the gig in the Big Apple.
Robertson told us Glenn was actually the reason he came to the Motor City from the Raiders this past offseason … and he gushed over the way the 52-year-old allowed him to blossom this year.
“Man,” Robertson said, “coach Glenn was a blessing that I didn’t realize was gonna be a blessing.”
“He a player’s coach, a passionate guy. Always wants you to be the best version of yourself.”
Robertson played in all 17 of the Lions’ regular season games, and had arguably the best year of his career, recording 50 total tackles, eight pass deflections and three forced fumbles.
He made it clear Glenn was a huge reason for the success — and while he’s certainly sad to see him go … he said he’s thrilled the coach will now get to shine with the HC title next to his name.
He said he’s sure, too, Glenn will turn things around quickly in NY … telling us Gang Green’s “in good hands with a guy like that.”
“I know he’s going to do great things.”
As for the where the Lions go without Glenn, Robertson says they’re using their unexpected playoff loss to the Commanders as fuel to help them rebound.
“Just know we keepin’ all the receipts,” the 26-year-old said. “When you fail and you see people doubting you — like that’s how I came up. That was the fuel to my fire. We’ll be back. It’s all good. We definitely keepin’ receipts.”
