50 Cent is very confident that A$AP Rocky will emerge victorious in his shooting trial — and is even willing to put down big money on him being acquitted.
In a since-deleted Instagram post over the weekend, 50 — who has been a vocal supporter of Rocky’s during the trial — wrote: “I got A$AP beating this case. I’ll bet 500,000 on it.”

He also took aim at the Harlem rapper’s accuser, former friend and A$AP Mob member A$AP Relli.
“That boy ASAP Tellie was just trying to get some money,” he added, echoing Rocky’s argument that Relli was trying to extort him by filing a $30 million lawsuit over the alleged 2021 shooting.

“Fool said I was scared for my life so I went back to the scene and picked up these shells. Officer [cop emoji] told him hey if you want some money go to the hospital. Who want the bet?”
50’s post was accompanied by footage of another heated courtroom moment between A$AP Rocky’s lawyer Joe Tacopina and prosecutor John Lewin.
During closing arguments on Friday (February 14), Tacopina appeared to say something which angered Lewin, who remarked: “Your Honor, one more thing out of him and we air out everything that’s happened in this case! He might want to stop!”
Tacopina then snapped back: “Ooh, I’m so threatened by you,” to which Lewin warned: “You should be.”

The two attorneys then began rowing before Judge Mark Arnold ordered a halt to the chaos.
The jury is expected to deliver a verdict this week over whether A$AP Rocky shot and injured A$AP Relli during a dispute in Hollywood in November 2021.

Rocky’s defense has largely centered on the argument that he fired a prop gun, not a real one, to break up a scuffle, as well as the aforementioned claim that Relli was looking to extort him.
The rapper and fashion designer is charged with two counts of assault with a semiautomatic weapon and faces up to 24 years in prison if convicted.

Rocky has had 50 Cent in his corner throughout the trial, with the G-Unit mogul previously calling for the charges to be thrown out due to Relli’s perceived unreliability.
In a scathing Instagram post earlier this month, 50 blasted the former A$AP Mob member over his criminal past — namely two outstanding warrants in New Jersey for driving offenses dating back to 2010.

“Now what’s the chances of that, on the stand, on the run. Yeah throw this whole case away. This guy is trying to get some money that’s all,” he wrote, referencing Relli’s lucrative lawsuit.
Fif also slammed Relli’s testimony about finding bullet casings at the scene of the alleged crime after it emerged that he had been at a Los Angeles gun range shortly before the shooting.
