A$AP Mob leader A$AP Rocky has come forward to speak out on reports about being assaulted in a hotel elevator this week.
Rocky downplayed the seriousness of the assault and poked fun at it on Twitter early Thursday (February 25) on Twitter.

Details of the physical altercation emerged online late Wednesday (February 24).
According to sources way down under … A$AP was at the Pullman Hotel in Auckland around 3 AM local time. He has a concert there Thursday night. We’re told he was getting into an elevator with some girls, and 3 guys wanted to get in also — but A$AP told ’em there was no room left, and then it was on. We’re told the guys jumped the rapper, punching him in the head and face … while he tried to protect the girls. (TMZ)
Earlier this month, Rocky announced plans to release new music on a weekly basis.
Recently, Rocky talked about being compared to G.O.O.D. Music affiliate Travi$ Scott.
“They do say imitation is the highest form of flattery,” Rocky said in an interview. “But what I will say about that is, you can’t come at a rapper with video clips. You gotta come with music. That man, he doing his thing, he doing what he supposed to do. He gettin’ fly, he f*ckin’ bitches, and he makin’ music. I don’t see the problem.” (Hot 97)
