*A$AP Rocky! You just came out of court with a victory in your felony assault trial. What are you going to do? According to reports, the “Trilla” rapper is honoring his lawyer, Joe Tacopina, with naming his next baby after him.
The news was also confirmed via a recent interview the attorney did with Extra TV (watch it below).
“Rihanna and Rocky said to me in the courtroom yesterday, they grabbed me and they said, ‘Listen, our next baby is A$AP Joe,’” Tacopina told Extra.
The baby news follows the not guilty verdict in A$AP Rocky’s case, which was handed down by a non-Black jury on Feb. 18. The 36-year-old Harlem, NY- bred entertainer was charged with two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm.
Once the verdict was read, the sound of joyous A$AP Rocky and Rihanna fans filled the packed Los Angeles courtroom as the ecstatic couple embraced each other and sobbed.
