A$AP Rocky let his gratitude shine in the courtroom after a jury declared him not guilty earlier this week. The rapper was facing more than 20 years in prison for the alleged felony assault of his former friend A$AP Relli. By the end of the four-week trial, Rocky lept into the arms of Rihanna in the court gallery, and they BOTH promised his attorney, Joe Tacopina, a very special honor. Or so the lawyer says!

“They grabbed me, and they said, ‘Listen, our next baby is A$AP Joe,'” the attorney said with a laugh. He also revealed his response: “I’m going to hold you to that.”
New Chapter For Rocky, But What About Relli?
As for the timeline on a third mini-me, The Shade Room has no womb predictions for ya! Additionally, neither Rih nor A$AP has reacted to attorney Joe Tacopina’s lil’ secret spill. However, it’s not far-fetched that their gratitude would go THAT far, given that the lawyer and his team saved Rocky from possibly spending more than two decades locked up.
That kind of sentence would’ve meant missing the childhood of his existing children with Rihanna–2-year-old RZA and 1-year-old Riot Rose.

While Rocky and his people continue celebrating the legal W, his accuser, A$AP Relli, has a different tone. Early Thursday, less than 48 hours after the trial ended, Relli shared a strong message for folks “gossiping” about him. So, the criminal pursuit of Rocky over their 2021 beef has ended. However, it’s unclear if Rocky’s former friend will seek another shot at revenge in civil court.
