A$AP Rocky may be facing serious charges for allegedly shooting his former friend A$AP Relli, but he was determined to keep the meaning of AWGE a secret during his felony assault trial.AWGE is Rocky's label and creative agency and the rapper has never publicly revealed what the initials stand for since its launch over a decace ago.Eminem: Expectations For New Album, Houdini Reaction, Megan Lyrics & Respect To His LegacyEminem: Expectations For New Album, Houdini Reaction, Megan Lyrics & Respect To His LegacyPauseNext video0:06 / 15:35Full-screenDuring his shooting trial on Friday (February 7), fellow A$AP Mob member A$AP Twelvyy was called to the witness stand and asked by a prosecuting attorney what the letters stood for.After Twelvyy avoided the question, Rocky, in a shock move, spoke up from the defense table and ordered Twelvyy to stay silent, telling him: "Don't say it."AWGE has two rules according to its website: "1) Never reveal what AWGE means. 2) When in doubt always refer to rule #1."After Pretty Flacko's controversial outburst, Twelvyy was asked by the prosecutor what Rocky had said but he denied he heard him, saying: "I heard something. I'm not too sure what I heard. I was listening to you."Twelvyy was testifying in support of his longtime collaborator, who claims that A$AP Relli was the aggressor during the November 2021 shooting and that Rocky was not even carrying a real gun but rather a prop starter pistol.Rocky previously spoke in the courtroom over objections to repeated use of the n-word by white attorneys, as well as the judge.After Rocky's own attorney, Joe Tacopina, said the racial slur without censoring himself while reading aloud evidence, the Harlem rapper vocally interjected about its continued use.Judge Arnold later confirmed that the slur was now banned during the trial, saying: "If there's an exhibit or any recording that has the n-word, I want you to say 'n-word.'"RELATED NEWS50 CENT WANTS A$AP ROCKY SHOOTING CASE TOSSED OVER CONCERNS ABOUT ALLEGED VICTIMFEBRUARY 4, 2025A$AP Rocky faces a maximum of 24 years in prison if convicted after previously declining a plea deal that would have seen him spend 18 months behind bars.The high-profile trial could end this week, but it may run longer depending on how many witnesses are called and how long the jury take to deliver their verdict.The trial has so far been a contentious affair, with A$AP Relli's claims of being shot by his former friend being put under intense scrutiny by Tacopina.Relli was also forced to admit that he had deleted messages he had sent to Rocky after being accused of attempting to "extort" the rap superstar

Kendrick Lamar's streams have skyrocketed across multiple platforms following his performance
??

Kendrick Lamar's streams have skyrocketed across multiple platforms following his performance during the Super Bowl LIX halftime show.
According to newly-released stats, K. Dot's Drake diss "Not Like Us" increased by 430 percent on Spotify in the hours following the show on Sunday night (February 9). Additionally, the nine other songs he performed saw an increase of 175 percent on the platform.
SZA's streams also increased by 80 percent following her appearance to perform "All the Stars" and "Luther" with her former labelmate.
Over on Apple Music, the entire top five was held by Kendrick's songs the following morning and his album GNX had returned to No. 1 on the platform.
During his breathtaking 15-minute performance at New Orleans' Caesars Superdome, Kendrick repeatedly referenced his bitter feud with the 6 God before eventually performing "Not Like Us."
Roughly halfway through his set, the Compton rap star taunted his archrival by saying in a back-and-forth with female backup dancers: "I want to perform their favorite song... but you know they love to sue," a clear nod to Drake's controversial defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group over "Not Like Us."
During the actual performance of the track - the penultimate song in his set - Kendrick self-censored the "certified pedophile" line but smirked to the camera as he said: "Say Drake, I hear you like 'em young / You better not ever go to cell block one / To any [bitch] that talk to him and they in love / Just make sure you hide your lil' sister from him."
He also performed the lyrics: "Tryna strike a chord and it's probably A minor," with enthusiastic help from the capacity crowd.
The halftime show also included a surprise cameo from Drake's ex-girlfriend and Compton native Serena Williams, who could be seen Crip Walking on an elevated stage as "Not Like Us" transitioned into the closing track, "TV Off."

Kanye West has seemingly weighed in on the escalating feud between Jim Jones and Camron

Kanye West has seemingly weighed in on the escalating feud between Jim Jones and Camron and picked a side between his two former Roc-A-Fella labelmates.
The Dipset cohorts have been publicly beefing in recent weeks, taking shots at each other over unresolved issues that date back years.
Despite his past collaborations with Killa Cam, Kanye linked up with Jim Jones in Tokyo this past weekend where they were seen hitting the club, listening to music and looking over clothes together.
The We Fly High hitmaker posted a picture on Instagram of the visit and wrote in the caption: We out here playin BULLY BALL only shot u dont make is th shot u dont take. This is about believing in urself when no one else will.
Im a student and A teacher this past 5 days I was th student I learned so much about character never judge unless u wearing a black robe.
Capo then bigged up Yes forthcoming album Bully by adding: Bully this album so crazy I wouldnt drop if I was yall or drop now cause when he drops this is gone b a big problem. We not takin no for answers we are th BULLY.
Safe to say @ye back aka THE REAL BILLY GOAT pun intended.
Yeezy himself posted a picture of a Dipset chain (which he wore in Jones aforementioned photo) draped over a jacket with a fur hood and wrote: DIPSET.
The G.O.O.D. Music also rocked the neckpiece while hitting a club with Capo in the Japanese capital.
While Camron has yet to weigh in on the intriguing meet-up, he has previously commented on Kanye Wests wild public outbursts.
He said on the All the Smoke podcast in 2023: Kanye, he play crazy with who he wanna play crazy with, you know what Im saying? That n-ggas crazy when its convenient.

Kanye Wests daughter North West is spitting some bars on FKA twigs new song Childlike Things, and shes doing it in Japanese.
The track, released on Friday (January 24), appears on FKAs new album EUSEXUA.

At a Vultures 2 listening event in Phoenix last March, North stood side by side with her father at the center of the stage as she made the announcement.
Ive been working on an album and it is called Elementary School Dropout, the 10-year-old said to a roar from the crowd.

The reveal came shortly after North made her music debut on her father and Ty Dolla $igns collaborative project Vultures 1, featuring prominently on Talking.
The track peaked at No. 30 on the Billboard Hot 100, making her one of the youngest ever artists to appear on the chart.
On the song, North raps: I love it here/ Were gonna take over another year/ Its your bestie, Miss, Miss Westie/ Dont try to test me/ Its gonna get messy/ Just, just bless me, bless me/ Its your bestie, Miss, Miss Westie.
North wasnt the only West child at the listening event. Kanye West also brought out his two youngest children, Psalm and Chicago, while their older sister performed Talking.
