A$ AP Rocky says he will invoke his Fifth Amendment right to silence.

The rapper faces up to 24 years in prison if found guilty of two counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm.

Rocky likely would have testified that the gun he fired twice was a starter pistol that only fired blanks.

His lawyers have claimed that he only carried the gun for security purposes.
