A$AP Rocky Denies Defaming Ex-Friend A$AP Relli With Extortion Claims Following Alleged 2021 Shooting

Rocky demanded the entire lawsuit be put on pause until the criminal case is resolved. He argued he could not properly testify until he had no concern that his words could potentially be used by prosecutors in the criminal case.

Last month, prosecutors introduced a video as evidence that they said showed Rocky holding a gun before allegedly shooting Relli.

Now, Rocky has filed his official answer to the civil lawsuit. He denied all allegations of wrongdoing. He argued, “The Complaint does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action against the Defendants in that the statements alleged to be defamatory are not false statements of fact.”
