Rakim Mayers, better known as the rapper ASAP Rocky, will headline the Rolling Loud festival and serve as a chair of the Met Gala this year — as long as he dodges a conviction at his trial for a 2021 Hollywood shooting.

ASAP Rocky appeared at a Los Angeles courthouse on Tuesday (Jan. 21) as jury selection began in his criminal assault trial. The 35-year-old artist, born Rakim Mayers, is facing two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm stemming from an alleged altercation in Nov. 2021.

A$AP Rocky rejected a plea deal from prosecutors for allegedly assaulting a former A$AP Mob group member in 2021.
