District Attorney George Gascón revealed his office filed the charges against Mayers following the alleged assault against a former friend last November.

The two men allegedly got into an argument on November 6, 2021, which escalated and resulted in the rapper allegedly firing the handgun at the other man, according to authorities.

The Los Angeles Police Department said the victim sustained a minor injury and Mayers allegedly fled the scene with two other people.

He was arrested in April of this year at LAX following a vacation in Barbados with girlfriend, Rihanna.

“Discharging a gun in a public place is a serious offense that could have ended with tragic consequences not only for the person targeted but also for innocent bystanders visiting Hollywood,’ said Gascón

“My office conducted a thorough review of the evidence in this case and determined that the addition of a special firearm allegation was warranted.”

Rocky is also being sued for assault and battery by a former member of the ASAP Mob, ASAP Relli, who claims that he is the alleged victim in the shooting.

Relli claims he was hit with bullet fragments and suffered injuries as a result.
