(EXCLUSIVE) A$AP Rocky Continues Bitter Battle With Ex-Manager
He said that per their deal, he was to be paid 15% of A$AP’s gross income along with pay him a monthly fee for his work. He claimed the unpaid monthly commission payments comes to over $300k along with an additional $550k in unpaid commission from deals he worked for the rapper.
He accused the rapper of failing to provide him with monthly accounting reports on his income, saying he never received a single document from A$AP regarding the money he made.
A$AP’s ex-manager is suing for breach of contact, claiming the rapper has caused him great economic injury and is demanding the full $850k he is owed.
Then on October 2nd, the rapper fired back at his former manager’s allegations denying he did anything wrong. He explained that he paid Smith all compensation due under the contract. A$AP also said his ex-manager was the one to breach their deal NOT him and the agreement was terminated in 2014 and the paperwork stated no further commissions would be due to Smith.
A$AP then counter-sued Smith demanding a court order stating their contract is void. The rapper says that once his career began to rise – he had to bring on a 2nd manager to help Smith – which lead to his deal with Smith to be re-negotiated.
He said that the new agreement had the 2 managers splitting the commissions and he was paid all money owed. However, he said he terminated Smith as his manager in 2014.
A$AP also accused his ex-manager of providing others with information about his finances, personal life and his business.
And October 22nd, Sims blasted his former client A$AP saying he didn’t owe the rapper anything after HE was the one who breached their deal. He shot down all allegations that he screwed his client over by releasing private information about his career and personal life to other people.
The rapper’s former manager explains that all the damages that A$AP suffered are the result of his own actions NOT his. He states that the other manager the rapper hired is also responsible for things that he cannot be held accountable for in his career.
Further, the ex-manager says that following the termination of their deal by A$AP he owed the rapper nothing. He also accuses the musician of fraudulent acts during their time working together.
Sims is demanding the counter-suit be thrown out and A$AP have to pay his legal bills for having to defend himself in the case.
