UPDATE: A man says A$AP Rocky beat him in a clothing store in July. Almost a year later, A$AP files that the fight was in self-defense.
A lawsuit claims that A$AP Rocky not only beat a man in a New York clothing store in July, but also did so while under the influence of illegal drugs.
Rocky was arrested in July after a fight between him and two photographers who had been filming the rapper while he was involved in an altercation with another person. That person, TMZ reports, claims that he saw the Harlem emcee get high in the clothing store, and Rocky began beating him, before turning his attention to the photographers.
Rocky has already struck a plea deal in the criminal case, pleading guilty to attempted grand larceny, with the assault and robbery charges being dropped.
