Rakim Mayers, better known to the world as A$AP Rocky, has been sued by a Manhattan neighbor for $1.1 million after a leak made the inhabitant’s apartment below the Harlem rapper “completely uninhabitable.”
According to The Independent, the paperwork was filed in the Manhattan Supreme Court Oct. 30 by Chez Ni, LLC (listed in public records as Annie Kang). In the lawsuit, the former A$AP Mob lyricist has been named, as well as ADE Painting, the building’s condo board, and Tyson Beem, who is Rocky’s business manager.
The plaintiff stated that the leak in Rocky’s $11 million condo caused “catastrophic” flooding that extended to the apartment below, resulting in the destruction of the unit. The incident took place last December as they blamed the “devastating water intrusion” on the “negligence of the putative owner of Unit 5N, Rakim Athelaston Mayers (a/k/a A$AP Rocky),” and a local contractor, ADE Pro Painting.
It was alleged in the suit that Unit 4NF “suffered damage and destruction” to its “fixtures, furnishings and improvements,” as well as to “furniture, clothing, and personal items,” to the tune of at least $700,000. Due to the damage done to the unit, they have incurred approximately $200,000 in alternative living arrangements and other out-of-pocket expenses since the Dec. 23, 2024, incident.
Chez Ni LLC is seeking a minimum of $900,000 from the parties named in the lawsuit, a minimum of $200,000 from the condo board, and a judgment declaring all defendants responsible for the $42,000 remediation, which the condo is attempting to charge back to Kang and her LLC.
In an email from the owner of ADE Pro Painting, they provided a statement to the media outlet, stating that they couldn’t comment on the situation due to a non-disclosure agreement with Rocky.
“I want to say that I signed a NDA with the rapper, so that prevents me from providing certain details. I want to say that we are also affected from this situation, and we did not get pay [sic] for certain services provided.”
