The felony assault trial of A$AP Rocky in Los Angeles captured global headlines.

Jurors heard three weeks of testimony chronicling the bitter falling out of childhood friends and the fight that led to the rapper being charged on accusations he opened fire in the middle of a Hollywood street.

As the not guilty verdict was read in court, the rapper leapt over a wooden barrier to hug Rihanna , who was seated behind him in between his mother and sister.

A$ AP Rocky's AWGE collective operates across music, fashion and art, collaborating with brands like Mercedes-Benz and PacSun .

Members include artists, designers and directors, and everyone remains loyal to one rule: no one publicly reveals what "AWGE" actually stands for.

Rocky 's trial unfolded at the height of his career, with the rapper riding a wave of creative and commercial success.
