A$ AP Rocky has pleaded not guilty to two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, charges that could lead to up to 24 years in prison.

The hip-hop star, fashion maven and actor, is accused of shooting his former friend Rakim Mayers in 2021 .

The defense plans to call witnesses to testify that a firearm seen on a security video is a starter pistol that Rocky carried as a prop.

Ephron will be the central figure in the trial, and the defense will seek to tear down his credibility. “He’s the witness that this case will rise and fall on, for sure,” Rocky ’s attorney Joe Tacopina said after a recent pretrial hearing. “Whether he’s a star is something that remains to be seen.”.
