A$AP Rocky’s Lawyer Gets Into Explosive Argument with Prosecutors in Court

A$AP Rocky‘s trial is winding down … but, tension between Rocky’s team and prosecutors keeps heating up — ’cause in the middle of closing arguments, A$AP’s lawyer and the state engaged in a war of words.

Joe Tacopina — the defense counsel for Rocky — delivered more of his ending remarks Friday morning … during which he repeatedly claimed A$AP Relli, Rocky’s former friend turned assault accuser, perjured himself.

Prosecutors took issue with the terminology … and, prosecutors objected to the language during the argument — though the judge ultimately allowed it.

This isn’t the first time the trial’s gotten contentious … Tacopina sparred with A$AP Relli when he was on the stand — but, this level of animosity between the two lawyers is surprising.

The jury’s likely to begin deliberations either later today or on Tuesday — no court Monday because of President’s Day — after multiple weeks of testimony. Rocky faces two counts of assault with a semiautomatic weapon for the alleged incident that apparently went down in 2021.

While prosecutors have accused Rocky of assaulting and even shooting Relli, his lawyers say he couldn’t have … because the gun he had with him was just a prop gun.
