A$AP Rocky Jury Selected, 7 Women and 5 Men but No Black Jurors​on January 24, 2025 at 12:17 am

A$AP Rocky will be judged by a jury of his peers in his felony assault trial — but none of those peers are Black.

Jury selection in Rocky’s trial for allegedly shooting A$AP Relli just wrapped up in downtown L.A., and the gender split is 7 women and 5 men. What’s kinda odd, considering L.A.’s population, is there’s not a single Black juror.

Keep in mind, both Rocky and the alleged victim are African-American. The jurors are white, Asian and Hispanic. Four alternate jurors who were selected are all women … and not Black.

For what it’s worth, Judge Mark Arnold, who is white, will oversee the trial.

As we first reported, during the selection process prospective jurors were asked — among other things — if they’re fans of Rihanna, with whom Rocky has 2 kids.

While Rihanna fandom was a concern, it would appear neither side was worried about race being a factor in this case … A$AP Rocky’s attorneys and prosecutors had equal say over which jurors were picked.

The trial is set to begin Friday morning, and TMZ will be following it every step of the way. Rocky was charged in 2022 with two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm. He pled not guilty and was released on bond.
