A$AP Rocky's Manager Claims Ownership Of Ammo Found During Home Raid (original) (raw)
A$AP Rocky‘s manager has claimed ownership over the ammunition found during a raid of A$AP Rocky’s home in 2022.
On Monday (Feb. 10), A$AP Lou testified that he accidently left the ammunition, made for a Glock 43 magazine, behind at Rocky’s home and forgot to retrieve it prior to the raid.
“I took everything except for one magazine,” Lou said while on the stand. “It was a Glock 43 magazine.” However, A$AP Lou admitted that he doesn’t actually own a Glock 43 firearm, but accidentally bought the wrong bullets for his Glock 42 gun.

“When you’re in the store, everything is next to each other,” Lou said while explaining how he could mistakenly purchase the wrong ammo. “I didn’t realize until that day that I had mistakenly grabbed it.”
Lou also insisted that the ammunition had never been used, adding that he opted not to return or exchange the clip due to it being a relatively cheap purchase.
“It’s a $20 magazine. That would have cost more in gas to go there and back with my time,” he explained.

Elsewhere in his testimony, Lou backed A$AP Rocky’s defense that the weapon used in the alleged shooting of former A$AP Mob member A$AP Relli was a prop gun and not real, despite what its appearance may suggest.
According to Lou, Rocky acquired the gun while at a music video shoot, later returning it to Lou, who delivered it to the video’s director, believed to be the rightful owner of the object.
A$AP Rocky is accused of shooting A$AP Relli during an altercation in Los Angeles in November 2021. The rapper was later arrested and charged with two counts of felony assault and is facing up to 24 years in prison if convicted.
