A$ap Relli, the former Mob member who has claimed to be the victim in the alleged November shooting involving A$ap Rocky, is reportedly receiving “intensive therapy” after having received countless death threats since his identity was revealed. According to TMZ, Jamal Tooson and Brian Hurwitz, who are legally presenting Relli, told the publication how their client has been regarded as a “snitch” for speaking out about the events that transpired last year when he accused Rocky of shooting at him multiple times in an obscure location in Los Angeles.
In April, following the “Fashion Killa” rapper’s arrest, fellow Mob member A$ap Bari was one of the first to come forward and assert that Relli had been in contact with law enforcement officers and that he was the reason behind Rocky’s apprehending after returning from Barbados to Los Angeles, where he was detained and held on $550,000 bail.

And earlier this week, when Tooson and Hurwitz announced Relli was planning to sue Rocky for the incident that allegedly took place last year, the accuser’s mental health is said to have hit an all-time low as he continues to receive professional treatment in therapy to cope with the emotional distress the situation has caused him.
Following the 33-year-old’s arrest in April, law enforcement officers acquired a search warrant in hopes of retrieving the weapon they believe was used to shoot at the victim, and while reports said investigators did seize several guns, they were not able to locate the firearm used in November’s shooting.
As previously reported, Relli alleges that Rocky had wanted to meet with him at a specific location in LA to discuss a dispute they had, and while their meet-up was supposed to have been an innocent conversation to hash out their differences, things were said to have escalated when Relli said Rocky took out his gun and allegedly fired multiple shots at him.

“The argument escalated and resulted in the suspect firing a handgun at the victim,” a police press release revealed at the time. “Detectives worked diligently to investigate and corroborate the reporting information which helped identify the suspect(s) involved.”
“The suspect has been identified as 33-year-old Rakim Mayers, a Los Angeles resident, also known as music artist A$AP Rocky. Early this morning, LAPD officers arrested Mayers for assault with a deadly weapon (firearm) at the Los Angeles International Airport.”
