A$AP Rocky's bodyguard allegedly choked a teenager while dragging him down the street in new footage the prosecutor says disproves the rapper's self-defence claim.
Prosecutor Daniel Suneson says the new videos disprove the rapper's previous self-defence claim, reportedHe said in court: "This version shows the initial course of events before the abuse. It is about a confrontation with the guard. It disproves emergency defence. A$AP, 30, then calmly puts his hand on the guy's shoulder and tells him: "Listen, listen. We don't wanna fight y'all. We don't wanna go to jail.The original video, posted to the rapper's Instagram page, also showed the teen pestering him and his team.
In A$AP's videos, a pair of young men can be seen following him in the street despite repeatedly being told by the rapper's massive minder to go away. “I'm innocent,” A$AP later wrote. "They followed us for 4 blocks, and they were slapping girls b***s who passed, give me a break." His lawyer, Slobodan Jovicic, told the judge his client pleaded not guilty to the charge of assault and had acted in self-defence.
