A$AP Relli Breaks Silence After Court Case
Following the verdict several people weighed in with differing opinions about the former A$AP Mob star. On February 19, Relli finally broke his silence.
“Gossiping is a form of entertainment for people who have no meaningful goals or purpose in life,” Relli wrote on his Instagram story.
“Hate me, bring shame to my name, say bad things about me, I don’t care. Your existence doesn’t add any value in my life.”
Charlamagne Gets Honest About Court Case
Amid the court case, Relli has come under heavy scrutiny. Rap star 50 Cent even jokingly nicknamed Relli “A$AP Telli, after he took the stand. After the verdict was announced, Charlamagne the God, host of the Breakfast Club morning show joined in on the fun. Charlamagne gave Relli
“Donkey of the Day, noting that he took the stand and lied.
“Now, the reason that A$AP Relli is getting donkey of the day is because he can’t even rack right. All right, Relli, you just got on the stand and got caught lying every which way,” Charlemagne said.
“I mean, you took the stand and just lied, lied, lied every which way you could possibly think of. I’m talking up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, press B, press A press start. You got on the stand and tried to take Rocky out, but you’re spinning the wind, and now you the one who would take two on your chin.”
The radio show host also noted that this should be a lesson to other successful people to watch the company that they keep.
“When you are a person a statue, you know, some
celebrity people think you got some paper, you will always
look like a walking lick to those folks,” he added.
“Which is why my advice to everyone who has something to lose is isolation. All right, put your boundary up, stay within your circle.
Everybody that’s not within that circle is dangerous. And as
we see in this case, sometimes people in your circle.”
