50 Cent Bets $500K on A$AP Rocky Winning His Trial
50 Cent is confident that A$AP Rocky will beat his shooting case—and he’s even willing to bet $500,000 on it.
Over the weekend, the rap mogul posted on Instagram (before deleting it):
“I got A$AP beating this case. I’ll bet 500,000 on it.”
He also criticized Rocky’s accuser, A$AP Relli, who used to be a member of the A$AP Mob.
“That boy A$AP Tellie just wants some money.”
50 was referring to Relli’s $30 million lawsuit against Rocky, claiming he was shot during an argument in Hollywood in November 2021.
Courtroom Drama
50 Cent also shared a tense courtroom moment between Rocky’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina, and the prosecutor, John Lewin.
During the trial, Tacopina said something that angered Lewin, who shot back:
“Your Honor, one more thing out of him and we air out everything that’s happened in this case! He might want to stop!”
Tacopina sarcastically replied:
“Ooh, I’m so threatened by you.”
Lewin then warned:
“You should be.”
This led to a heated exchange before the judge stepped in to calm things down.
The Case Against A$AP Rocky
Rocky is accused of shooting A$AP Relli, but his defense claims:
- He only fired a prop gun to break up a fight.
- Relli is trying to extort him for money.
If convicted, Rocky faces up to 24 years in prison for two counts of assault with a semiautomatic weapon.
50 Cent Calls for Case to Be Dismissed
50 has been one of Rocky’s biggest supporters, previously calling for the charges to be thrown out.
He pointed out that Relli has two outstanding warrants in New Jersey for driving offenses dating back to 2010.
“What are the chances of that? On the stand and on the run. Yeah, throw this whole case away.”
He also mocked Relli’s claim of finding bullet casings at the scene, noting that Relli had been at a gun range earlier that day.
What’s Next?
The jury is expected to deliver a verdict this week. Until then, 50 Cent remains confident that Rocky will walk away a free man.
