Los Angeles Court declared Rakim Mayers a hip hop performer professionally known as A$AP Rocky not guilty on Tuesday at his trial on two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm.

The courtroom had exploded into screaming glee as Rocky leapt from the defense table into the gallery into the arm of his partner Rihanna as both sobbed with relief.

The jurors had deliberated for three hours where they reached a verdict that spared the hip hop star a prison sentence that could have run more than two decades, after three weeks trial.

“Thank y’all for saving my life,” he told the jurors as they left.

 “Mr. Mayers, you’re excused,” Judge Mark Arnold said.

On the eve of trial, Rocky turned down a prosecution offer of just six months in jail, along with probation and other conditions, if he would plead guilty to one count, he however stuck to his innocence

Rihanna hugged the defense lawyers, as did Rocky. She attended the trial sporadically and brought the couple’s two sons — 2-year-old RZA Athelston Mayers and 1-year-old Riot Rose Mayers — for some of the closing arguments.

 “This whole experience has been crazy for the past 4 years,’ Rocky said amid the mob scene. ”I’m thankful and it’s blessed to be here right now to be a free man talking to y’all.”

District Attorney Nathan Hochman said he respected the jury’s decision.

“Our office remains committed to seeking accountability for those who break the law, no matter their status or influence,” Hochman said in a statement. “Fame does not place anyone above the law, and we will not waver in our pursuit of justice for victims and the community.”

Prosecutors and their witnesses said that he had a falling out with a former friend, A$AP Relli, whom he had been in a crew who called themselves the A$AP Mob since high school.

It was reported that the two men met up in Hollywood on Nov. 6, 2021, and after a scuffle Rocky pulled the gun and fired twice at Relli, who said one of the shots grazed his knuckle but was not seriously hurt.

Rocky’s lawyer Joe Tacopina said in his closing argument that Relli is “an angry pathological liar” who “committed perjury again and again and again and again.”

Rocky’s lawyers and witnesses they called said Rocky had shot a prop gun that only fires blanks, which he had been carrying for security since taking it from a music video set months earlier. They said he fired it as a warning because Relli was attacking another member of their crew.

 “They saw through this mirage of a case,” Tacopina said of the jurors “He turned down a plea for almost no jail time because he was innocent.”

In his closing argument, Deputy District Attorney John Lewin urged the jurors not to be influenced by the celebrity or family aspects of the case, and suggested Rihanna bringing the kids to closing arguments was an attempt to manipulate the jury.

“You are not allowed to consider how this might affect Rihanna and his kids,” the prosecutor said. “We are all responsible for our own actions in the world.”

After the verdict, Tacopina said outside the courthouse that “Rocky did not want her here, I will tell you that.”

Rocky’s lawyer revealed that the hip hop performer “wanted to shield her from this. Wild horses couldn’t keep her away.”

The three-time Grammy nominee, fashion mogul and actor is scheduled to headline the Rolling Loud music festival in March; he is one of the celebrity co-chairs of fashion’s biggest night, the Met Gala, in May; and he stars with Denzel Washington in director Spike Lee’s film “Highest 2 Lowest,” set for release in early summer.
