Ian Connor is clearing up the rumored beef with ASAP Rocky after being dissed during the Harlem rapperâs performance at Rolling Loud.
Earlier this week, after catching wind of the on-stage disrespect, Ian Connor confronted ASAP Rocky via Instagram direct messaging, questioning the âRiotâ rapperâs decision to call him a âbâchâ during his performance at the popular festival.
During a performance of the ASAP Mob track âTelephone Callsâ at Rolling Loud Miami, Pretty Flacko revised the lyrics to take aim at his former collaborators ASAP Bari and Ian Connor.
âCall up young lord ASAP Bari, he a bâch,â he rapped during his verse of the song, which appeared on the Cozy Tapes: Vol. 1 project.
According to the screenshot posted by Connor on social media, the creative consultant sent a post from the performance asking the Harlem native âthe fâk is this about?â
To which Rocky responded: âBout nuttin, u prolly wont believe me lol, word to tho, canât blame u if u donât,â ASAP Rocky wrote. âThey runnin wit dat, I jabbed [at] bruh and 4got the lyrics mid-sentence, listen closely, âhe da sht.â Donât feed into that yung, no plea coppin, but u know u good in my book we ainât on [that] type of time.â
Despite the clarification privately, Connor wanted the AWGE founder to clear it up publicly before taking to social media to clear it up himself, posting the text exchange with the caption âNo Pressure.â
âTell them folks that Flacko, I look brazy even if itâs mistaken,â Connor added. âI been out here doin good staying sucka free to minimal bullsât and now Iâm all over the place for you taking shots at Bari. Instant Karma maybe but I canât digg that.â
In a final screenshot, Connor indicated that he wasnât happy about how the situation happened. âDonât put my name in no songs from this point forward, yâall nâas is not Lil Durk and Iâm not India,â he concluded.
While seemingly new to the industry, fans noticed that A$AP began to distance himself from Bari after he pled guilty in 2019 to a sexual assault charge. The charge followed a surfaced video of him attacking a nude woman in 2017. Connor, Rockyâs former stylist, has also faced a consistent swarm of sexual assault and misconduct allegations over the years; with at least six women accusing him of inappropriate, unwanted advances, culminating in Bari confronting and punching him over the allegations in 2016.
Despite the distance, Rocky spoke out regarding his relationship with Connor in 2020, during an interview with Kerwin Frost, where he seemingly showed support for Connor.
âI heard of people doing some real âked up sât,â he said. âI can say that he gets picked on more than people think. A lot of it is cyberbullying.â
