The verdict in A$AP Rocky‘s assault trial is set to be announced … officials say the jury has reached its verdict, and the result will be announced at 4 PM PT — and we’re streaming it live.

The Los Angeles jury began deliberations Tuesday morning after closing arguments were completed Friday afternoon … the rapper is charged with two counts of assault with a semiautomatic weapon, and Rocky faces a possible 24-year prison sentence if found guilty.

A$AP Rocky — legal name Rakim Mayers — was arrested in 2022, accused of firing a gun at former associate and friend A$AP Relli outside a hotel in Hollywood in 2021. Rocky turned down a plea deal from prosecutors last month.

Rocky’s defense attorney, Joe Tacopina, maintained his client could not have shot Relli — legal name Terell Ephron — because Rocky only carried a prop gun with him at the time. Relli testified his knuckles were scraped by a bullet.

Relli’s testimony got heated at times … with fireworks popping off between himself and Tacopina.

Rocky chose not to testify … though his voice was heard in court when he yelled at his pal A$AP Twelvyy “Don’t say!!!” when prosecutors asked him on the stand what “AWGE” stands for. AWGE is the name of Rocky’s creative agency with “Fight Club”-level secrecy rules attached to it.

Rocky’s partner and mother of his two sons, Rihanna, played a background role in the proceedings — prospective jurors were asked during the selection process whether they’d heard of A$AP or Rihanna, listened to their music, or downloaded any of their songs. A jury of seven women and five men were selected … none of them Black.

D.L. Hughley isn’t holding back on Trevor Noah’s recent podcast question about whether integration was the right move for America — calling it “maybe the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.”

He broke it down on “TMZ Live” Tuesday, saying Black people are still at a disadvantage even after integration — pointing to issues like “white flight” and underfunded Black schools.

D.L. doubled down that integration was necessary because Black schools were severely underfunded — but once schools did start integrating, white kids left, taking resources with them … basically canceling it out.

Watch the clip … D.L. also expresses his fatigue over hearing about race from South Africans this year, referring to both Trevor Noah and current Trump ally Elon Musk.

Jason Kelce says Taylor Swift has had a “staggering” impact on Travis Kelce … revealing his little brother has grown up tremendously since he began dating the pop star.

Jason got candid about the Chiefs tight end’s relationship with Taylor on Tuesday’s episode of the “Fitz & Whit” podcast … explaining to former NFL stars Ryan Fitzpatrick and Andrew Whitworth he’s noticed a huge change in his bro since he began shacking up with Swift nearly two years ago.

“It’s been staggering, honestly,” he said.
