In a dramatic turn of events, ASAP Rocky is making headlines once again, this time with a new song preview that seemingly scolds his former colleague ASAP Relli. The Harlem rapper delivered the fiery performance during his headlining set at Rolling Loud Los Angeles, where he ascended above the crowd in a helicopter, making quite the entrance.
The track, which is part of his highly anticipated upcoming album Don’t Be Dumb, features a pointed reference to ASAP Relli, who had previously accused Rocky of assault in a criminal court case. After being acquitted earlier this year, Rocky appears to be unfiltered in his new music, rapping lines that reflect on their fractured relationship. “N****s do the most when they irrelevant / Claiming A$AP, but we were never friends,” he declares, hinting at the ongoing tension between the two artists.
While Rocky may have won the criminal case, the legal battle is far from over. ASAP Relli is still pursuing a civil lawsuit against him, which could delve into various aspects of their contentious history. The outcome of this civil suit remains uncertain, serving as a reminder that unresolved issues can linger on even after a legal victory.
Adding to the drama, Kendrick Lamar recently took a shot at ASAP Relli in his new collaboration with Playboi Carti, “GOOD CREDIT,” further complicating the dynamics within the A$AP Mob. Lamar’s verse plays on the irony of Relli’s situation, as Carti is affiliated with Rocky’s imprint, AWGE.
As anticipation builds for Don’t Be Dumb, ASAP Rocky is clearly aware of the stakes. During a lighthearted exchange at Paris Fashion Week, he jokingly responded to inquiries about the album, saying, “Don’t do me like that!” The playful banter reflects the pressure he feels as fans await his next musical move.
With tensions escalating and new music on the horizon, ASAP Rocky continues to keep the spotlight firmly on him. Stay tuned as we follow this unfolding saga and the impact it may have on the hip-hop landscape.
