He was later seen enjoying a celebratory dinner with Rihanna in Beverly Hills.
During the three-week trial, Relli testified that Rocky, real name Rakim Athelston Mayers, fired two shots from a handgun, grazing his knuckles.
The rapper’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina, argued he was actually carrying a prop gun incapable of firing real bullets – and branded Relli an angry pathological liar’ who ‘committed perjury again and again and again and again’ during the trial.
It was not immediately clear whether the verdict was reached because the jury believed he was carrying a prop gun, or that he acted in self-defence.
Jurors began their deliberations on Tuesday after three weeks of testimony and arguments. It took them about three hours to reach a unanimous decision.
They had been instructed by Judge Mark S Arnold they could find Rocky not guilty if they deemed he was acting in self-defense.
Rihanna took to Instagram Stories Tuesday evening with an uplifting message after the verdict was read out.

Before going into the trial, Harlem-born Rocky had declined an offer from prosecutors of a six-month jail sentence and probation.
