Insurance Company Refusing to Cover A$AP Rocky Legal Bills

Two years ago Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky was accused of shooting his former A$AP associate, A$AP Relli [click here if you missed that]. 

Now Rocky's insurance company is refusing to cover his legal bills...

From The Blast  

New court documents obtained by The Blast reveal State Farm is refusing to provide the father-of-two with liability insurance regarding his legal battle with ASAP Relli. The duo’s drama started in 2021 after Relli accused Rocky of firing gunshots at him.
In the filing, State Farm claims that it gave Rocky, real name Rakim Mayers, homeowners insurance (policy number 71-C8-W205-1) that was active from April 10, 2021, to April 10, 2022.
This policy covers damages if someone gets hurt or property gets damaged due to an accident. It also pays for legal defense if someone sues over it, but it will not cover criminal charges.
The policy defines bodily injury as physical harm to a person, excluding diseases transmitted by the insured or emotional distress unless it is connected to physical injury. As such, State Farm is arguing that its policy does not require them to provide defense or compensation for any defendant regarding any bodily injury claims to ASAP Relli, real name Terell Ephron, in the assault cause of action.
Recall that Relli filed a civil case against Rocky in the Los Angeles Superior Court in August 2022, citing claims of “Assault, Battery, Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress, and Negligence/Negligence Per Se.”
He alleged that Rocky requested a meeting in Hollywood in November 2021, during which an argument ensued, leading to the latter brandishing a handgun and firing shots in his direction. That action caused some injury.
Notably, the insurance company states that they agreed to provide defense coverage based on Rocky’s business manager’s request in September 2022.
Despite that, State Farm maintains it is not on the hook, according to their policy or any other, to cover or defend anyone involved in the case of Relli’s bodily injury claim in the assault lawsuit.
Relli and Rocky beg to differ with the latter insisting that State Farm should step up to defend and cover any costs, like liabilities, damages, settlements, or judgments, that arise from the case.
Now, State Farm is worried about potential losses unless they get clarity on what their policy actually covers and how it applies in this situation. Hence, they want a judge to sort out who is responsible for what is under the policy.
They hope that this action will provide a clear ruling to settle this once and for all and make sure everyone knows where they stand.
BTW anybody seen Rocky? He wasn't on Rihanna's annual birthday trip, she skipped his recent concert in Saudi Arabia, and he wasn't by her side when she went to Jason Lee's industry event in L.A. the other night.

What an ignorant misogynistic comment! She's not responsible for his misdeeds. He's so rich he lives in Soho as I quote him, let him find his own way through his shenanigans.

Dear Rhianna, Cardi, Nikki, Mary and any other female who mated or married with someone BENEATH them ….WHYYYYYYY????? Is your self esteem that low that any old trash πŸ—‘️ will do? That’s why God gave us pets, take care of them not the bums you insisted upon. I …just..don’t..understand. Rihanna had a billionaire and threw him over for this bitter bisexual dress wearing hate dark skin colorist of a man. And now she is three times her size, (she had that kid almost 8months ago, so stop saying she just had it)and her fashion sense gone. Rhianna look like the First Lady of the church, passing the mother’s board, on her way to fix a plate. The old Bad Gal would NEVER. And now she probably gotta pay this bill.She stuck with that clown for 18 years. It can be his bedroom skills because we all saw that wack lazy not working with much tape. I just..don’t…understand. Fix it JesusπŸ§πŸ€”πŸ€‘

As a woman who has dated beneath her as you put it, let me explain something. It's not always about trying to be with somebody for money, looks or sex. Sometimes it's just about compatibility, especially when you reach a certain age and certain things don't matter to you anymore. Finding someone on your level when you're a billionaire like Rihanna must be super hard because there are women out here making barely five figures and can't find a half decent dude. So when you find someone and you enjoy their company and they bring something to the table in terms of mental stimulation or fun, you go for it. She called him her best friend and that's pretty much what we all want. I don't like her choices but I totally understand them.
