Because that could get the best of you, and you can manifest that energy by mistake. I tried to stay positive at all times. But it was definitely gut-wrenching and nerve-racking, and I was definitely scared for my freedom.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was so thankful that the jury made that decision. I was really thankful for how the judge was respectful and treated me like a first-class citizen. And I was thankful for my team and my lawyer, my family and my mom for being there with me the whole time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But I could say my mom, the jury, my girl and everybody, but all praises and credit has to go to God. I\u2019m a firm believer in prayer, and I was praying the whole time he was reading off the verdict. And my prayers were answered.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I pray to God for a lot of the things in my life.

I got an album to make. I got fashion shows to do. I got music to make. I got videos. I got sneakers to drop. I got glasses to be the new creative director of. I got children. I got all type of s***. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Like, nah, why would I dwell on that dark-a** s***? I talk about it from time to time, but for the most part, I don\u2019t really think about that s***.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/aap-rocky-admits-feeling-scared-amid-trial-1418045.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>7 May 2025 A$AP Rocky felt &#8220;scared for [his] freedom&#8221; amid his felony assault trial.
