A$AP Rocky Finds Himself In Trouble With The Law Once Again

Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky allegedly indulged in a handful illegal drugs before violently attacking an innocent man in a New York clothing store back in July — this according to the victim, who’s now taking Rocky to court for assault.

A$AP Rocky — whose real name is Rakim Mayers — was arrested in July following a fight between the rapper and two amateur photographers, who had been shooting Rocky while he was involved in an altercation with another individual.

Now the person who was being filmed has filed a lawsuit against the rapper, claiming he saw the rapper get high in the clothing store before unleashing a ferocious beatdown.

Rocky has already struck a plea deal in the photographer-beating case — pleading guilty to attempted grand larceny for trying to take their cameras.

The assault and robbery charges were dropped!
