by A$AP Rocky’s assault trial took an unexpected turn today. During the proceedings, prosecutors presented a photograph of Rocky’s bed adorned with the letters “AWGE.” When they inquired about its meaning, A$AP Twelvyy, a longtime associate of Rocky, was on the stand. Before Twelvyy could answer, Rocky broke courtroom decorum, loudly interjecting, “Don’t say!” His sudden outburst shocked those in attendance, causing a brief commotion before the judge regained control. Twelvyy, seemingly heeding Rocky’s warning, kept his answer vague: “It means AWGE.” 
The term “AWGE” has long been shrouded in mystery within the hip-hop community. Established by Rocky in 2014, the collective’s website cryptically advises, “Rules: #1 Never reveal what AWGE means.” 
Adding to the day’s intensity, superstar Rihanna, Rocky’s partner and mother of his two sons, made a notable entrance into the courtroom. Dressed in all black, she entered the courthouse just minutes before proceedings resumed, sharing an intimate embrace with Rocky in the hallway before taking her seat.
The rapper, born Rakim Mayers, is facing serious charges stemming from a 2021 incident where he’s accused of firing a gun at his former friend, A$AP Relli (Terell Ephron). As the trial progresses, the stakes remain high. If convicted, A$AP Rocky faces up to 24 years in prison.
Prosecutors have built their case around the claim that Rocky brandished a firearm and fired a shot at A$AP Relli in a heated confrontation in Hollywood. Relli, who once called Rocky a close friend, took the stand last week and alleged that despite inconsistencies in his statements, the truth remained: Rocky pulled the trigger.
However, Rocky’s defense team is fighting back hard, maintaining that the firearm in question was merely a prop gun and that Relli’s accusations are fabricated. With witness testimonies conflicting, the trial is becoming a battle of credibility, with Rocky’s fate hanging in the balance.
A$AP Rocky’s legal team is expected to introduce new witnesses in the coming weeks, while prosecutors continue to press their case.
