A$AP Rocky is keeping his lips sealed—for now.
The rapper opted out of testifying in his ongoing assault trial. He chose to let his legal team do the talking.
When the judge pressed his attorney, Joe Tacopina, for a final decision on Tuesday, Rocky officially waived his right to take the stand. Perhaps, he’s saving his words for either his next album or a courtroom victory speech, as reported by TMZ.
