A$AP Rocky, born Rakim Mayers, has been charged with two counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm by the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office.
Rocky’s old friend is reportedly a former A$AP Mob member named A$AP Relli (born Terell Ephron), who told police he believed one of the bullets grazed his left hand after a “heated discussion” in Hollywood on Nov. 6.
