A$AP Rocky may have dodged felony assault charges, but his legal battle with A$AP Relli is far from over. Despite walking out of court a free man, a civil lawsuit looms large on the horizon.
The feud between A$AP Rocky and his former friend, A$AP Relli, took a twist as a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge lifted the temporary hold on Relli’s assault and battery suit. The trial date is set for Jan. 12, 2026, as Relli pushes forward, seeking justice.
In the initial filing in 2022, Relli accused Rocky of firing a gun during a 2021 altercation in Hollywood. While Rocky emerged unscathed from the criminal charges, the civil case brings a new set of challenges. With a lower burden of proof, Relli’s attorney, Melisa Mikhail, remains determined to see justice served.
As the legal drama unfolds, both parties are gearing up for a showdown. Rocky’s attorney, James Sargent, maintains that Relli’s claims lack legal merit following the rapper's recent acquittal. However, Mikhail is resolute in her pursuit, highlighting the disparity between criminal and civil proceedings.
The saga stems from a deep-rooted rift between the once close allies, embroiled in tension within the A$AP Mob collective. Rocky and Relli's fallout culminated in a violent confrontation, leading to Rocky's arrest in 2022. Now, the stage is set for a legal showdown as both sides prepare to present their cases in May 28's upcoming hearing.
With the clock ticking down to the 2026 trial, the world waits with bated breath to see how this high-profile legal battle will unfold. Stay tuned for more updates on this gripping courtroom drama.
