Aap Rocky Rejects Plea Deal, Faces 'significant Prison Sentence

AAP Rocky could face a 'significant prison sentence' after rejecting a plea deal.

The 36-year-old rapper - whose real name is Rakim Mayers - appeared in court in Los Angeles on Tuesday, to plead not guilty to two counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm in connection with an incident that took place in November 2021, when he said to have allegedly assaulted former friend AAP Relli aka Terell Ephron.

During the hearing, Deputy District Attorney Paul Przelomiec told Judge Mark S Arnold his office had offered a plea deal with 180 days in county jail if the 'Multiply' hitmaker pleaded guilty to the first count of assault with a semi-automatic firearm, with the agreement also including three years probation, a seven-year suspended jail term, 480 hours of community service and a 52-week anger management scheme, but with the maximum possible sentence being 24 years in prison if he was found guilty, he planned to push for at least 10 to 12 if the star was found guilty.

According to Rolling Stone, when asked if he had reviewed the deal with his team, Rocky - who has two sons with partner Rihanna - said: Yeah, they spoke to me about its detail, Your Honour. I respectfully decline, thank you.

The judge told him: Youre not going to get any special treatment. Your status as an entertainer, your status as the significant other of Rihanna, thats not going to inure to your benefit, and its not going to inure to your harm.
