A former friend who alleges rapper ASAP Rocky fired a gun at him in 2021 testified Monday that no one involved in the incident gave him any indication the firearm might have been fake — as the defence contends — until the day Rocky’s trial started two weeks ago.

The testimony from the trial’s key witness, who goes by ASAP Relli, came at the end of a long, frustrating slog on the stand in a Los Angeles courtroom that drove him to shout, “You’re annoying, bro!” and much more at the lead defence attorney.
