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.
50 also bet Drake would win the Kendrick beef and destroy everyone’s careers for those involved. Yeah 50 you not looking good right now. Lock him up with Diddy add in Snoop, Eminem, Dre, and Jay too.
Throw Drake in there too and that pdf Birdman too. NOLA don’t claim what he was doing to them boys.
50 has turned into a cornball
He been one everyone told you so but the industry had his back the butt buddies stuck together Dre, Eminem, and Snoop that was until 50 picked a fight with the bigger butt buddy Jay-Z who killed his sales. Honestly I have to wonder what his issues with Jimmy Iovine were years ago? Irv warned us. Jay-Z, Diddy, and 50 are not NYC we don’t claim them same with Cardi, Fat Joe, and the other fakes. Respect the legends Run DMC, Tribe, Public Enemy, Rakim, Mob Deep, DMX, Nas, and Big L
This shit here. Speaking fucking facts
Agree with everything but Jay Diddy and 50 are nyc .and some of the biggest out, don’t matter who claims.
Jay is a fake so is Diddy and 100% is 50 he doesn’t like NYC rappers he glazes west coast and white boys. NYC doesn’t claim them! Keep the freak offs to yourself and Diddy is from upstate.
the kids need their father
There have been too many perjuries for me, to send a man to prison for 24 years in good conscience, had I been on that jury. I could not do it. The accuser did not do himself any favors by how he came across and what he said that had so many inconsistencies.

Just ask Trump for the pardon and get him to pardon Young Chop, Kay Flock, NBA YoungBoy, YNW Melly, Sean Kingston, Larry Hoover, Julian Assange, and then the charges on Thug, Kodak, and Boosie.
Nah he’s going down.. 8-10 year sentence.
