The 33-year-old musician, whose real name is Rakim Myers, is charged with assault with a semi-automatic weapon, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.

He is suspected of pointing a gun at his ex-boyfriend during an argument last November and then shooting him twice, causing a “minor injury”, police said.

The rapper was arrested in April at Los Angeles airport as he stepped off a private jet from Barbados, where his girlfriend Rihanna is from and with whom he has a child.

In August 2019, A$AP Rocky was given a suspended prison sentence for violence following a fight in Stockholm. (News.ro)
