In a stretch of questioning crucial to the defence of ASAP Rocky, his lawyer challenged the account of his accuser, who said he suffered a hand injury when the hip-hop performer fired a gun at him in 2021.

Superstar singer Rihanna, Rocky’s partner and the mother of their two children, watched as the man who goes by ASAP Relli, a former friend of Rocky, underwent a second day of cross-examination that left him visibly frustrated and at times angry.
