A$AP Rocky's longtime friend and collaborator testified at his Los Angeles trial Friday that the hip-hop star fired a starter pistol that he carried as a prop during a scuffle with a former friend on a Hollywood street in 2021.

A$AP Relli testified that the gun fired by Rocky during the 2021 incident was a prop gun that shot blanks. Not only that, he said, but the shooting victim knew it was a fake gun.

A$AP Relli was the aggressor in his heated exchange with A$AP Rocky and Relli told Rocky to squeeze the trigger on the fake gun he was holding ... at least according to A$AP Twelvyy.
