A$AP Rocky Assault Accuser, Relli, Has 2 Outstanding New Jersey Warrants

A$AP Rocky Trial
A$AP Relli Wanted for Driving Infractions in N.J.

Published January 29, 2025 1:45 PM PST

A$AP Rocky‘s former friend who testified Tuesday and Wednesday against the rapper in his L.A. criminal trial has two outstanding warrants from years ago, TMZ has learned.

A$AP Relli is listed as the defendant in the warrants, for driving without a license and careless driving, in an August 2010 incident in the city of Weehawken, New Jersey, according to court records.

TMZ has confirmed both warrants are still active.

As we reported, Relli is testifying this week at Rocky’s trial, in which the rapper is charged with allegedly shooting Relli during a heated exchange on a Hollywood sidewalk in 2021.

Relli — legal name Terell Ephron — testified Rocky pulled a firearm during their argument, daring the rapper to open fire … “You better use that s***, what the f*** you got a gun for?”

Relli testified Rocky (real name Rakim Mayers) pulled the trigger and a bullet grazed his knuckles. He also testified his close relationship with Rocky deteriorated after Rocky dissed him to A$AP Bari while the three were chatting over the phone.

During his testimony, Relli claimed Rocky blew up his cell phone while he was asleep, texting at one point, “Let’s get to it … stop ducking my calls.”

Relli interpreted that message to mean Rocky wanted to settle their beef, leading to the shooting.

Relli continued testifying Wednesday, telling the jury his life’s been “a living hell” since the alleged incident. By the way, Rihanna — Rocky’s partner and mother of his 2 kids — showed up in court to support her man this morning, sitting with Rocky’s mother and sister in the gallery.

Zendaya and Tom Holland are married … so claims her longtime stylist, Law Roach.

Here’s the deal … the celebrity stylist — who started styling Zendaya way back in 2011 — spoke to Access Hollywood on the Actors Awards red carpet where he sang out “The wedding has already happened, you missed it.”

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

The AH reporter asks in shock if that’s true … and, Law responds by saying it’s “very true” before walking off.

This isn’t the first time Tom and Zendaya’s relationship status has made headlines on a red carpet … remember at the Golden Globes in 2025, Zendaya had a ring on that finger — and, the next day, we found out the two were engaged.

We’ve reached out to Tom and Zendaya’s teams … so far, no word back.

The rise of prediction markets means you can now bet on just about anything, right from your phone. Apps like Kalshi and Polymarket have grown exponentially in President Trump’s second term, as his administration has rolled back regulations designed to keep the industry in check. Billions of dollars have flooded in, and users are placing bets on everything from whether it will rain in Seattle today to whether the US will take over control of Greenland. Who’s winning big on these apps? And who is losing? NPR correspondent Bobby Allyn joins The Sunday Story to explain how these markets came to be and where they are going.
