Rapper ASAP Rocky is facing a defamation lawsuit from former collaborator ASAP Relli.
Relli claims that Rocky’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina, defamed him by denying any wrongdoing on Rocky’s part after a shooting incident.
Rocky has pleaded not guilty in his criminal case related to the incident. Relli alleges that Tacopina’s statements have led to death threats and online harassment, affecting his mental health.
Relli is seeking unspecified damages, while Tacopina dismisses the lawsuit as a publicity stunt and welcomes the opportunity to expose Relli’s alleged fraud.
