Rapper A$AP Rocky, also known as Rakim Mayers, has been ordered to stand trial in Los Angeles on two felony counts of assault with a semi-automatic weapon. The charges stem from a 2021 altercation involving a former friend and fellow rapper, A$AP Relli. Meanwhile, rapper Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Williams, is currently facing a RICO trial in Atlanta, accused of cofounding a criminal street gang called YSL. The trial, which began on November 27, involves allegations of murder, robbery, and illegal drug sales. Opening statements have started, and the case is expected to last for upwards of a year.
