A$AP Rocky is claiming his innocence in the shooting case of fellow Mob member A$AP Relli, ABC News confirmed. The rapper, born Rakim Mayers, appeared at his court hearing Wednesday, during which his lawyer, Sara L. Caplan, entered a not guilty plea on his behalf. 

Rocky was arrested in April over allegations he shot a victim at an obscure location in Hollywood. He was later released on a $550,000 bond, and his former friend Relli has identified himself as the victim of the shooting.

Born Terell Ephron, Relli claimed he scheduled a meeting with Rocky, who allegedly showed up with two men and the gun he used to shoot at him.
