A$AP Relli is trying to shut down incredulity that the cuts on his right hand didn’t actually come from a bullet … claiming people should look at what happened to Donald Trump during the attempt on his life, before clearing A$AP Rocky.
The former friend of Rocky took the stand for a fourth straight day Friday … and, Rocky’s attorney Joe Tacopina asked him if he’s really claiming the extent of his injuries from the alleged shooting are just a few scrapes on his knuckles.
Relli says yes … and, after Tacopina asks a related question — seemingly trying to get the jury to doubt his story — Relli replies that Joe’s not a ballistics expert, but he need only look at the current prez to know it’s possible.
A$AP Relli points to the attempt on Trump’s life at a Pennsylvania campaign rally last summer … when he walked away with just a scrape — and was totally fine after a week or so of wearing a Band-Aid.
The judge cuts him off here — a pretty common occurrence in this court case as Relli has tried to add more information than the question calls for.
Day 5 of the trial has gotten contentious … with Tacopina and the prosecution firing off at each other — and eyewitnesses telling us A$AP Rocky actually had to hold his lawyer backduring a heated moment with one of the prosecutors.
Rihanna was in court too … wearing a chic coat and pants to the trial — the third day she’s been this week. Rocky planted a kiss on his better half before the court went to break at around noon.
As you know …Relli’s testimony yesterday also included some heated moments — including raised voices between Relli and Tacopina, and a whole lot of “I don’t recall” responses from Relli.
He also admitted to deleting a few text messages, which almost certainly raised some eyebrows in court … including one exchange, where he seemed ready to throw down with Rocky.
Rocky’s accused of assault with a semiautomatic weapon in a 2021 incident with Relli … Tacopina claims Rocky’s gun was a prop.
The trial will pick up in just a little bit … and, we’ll have to wait and see if Relli compares himself to any other world leaders!
