A$AP Rocky dissed a pair of his former collaborators, A$AP Bari and Ian Connor, during his Rolling Loud Miami performance, but he’s clarifying at least one of the situations.
Ian Connor confronted A$AP Rocky via Instagram DMs on Monday (July 24) after getting wind of the Mob frontman calling him a “bitch” in lyrics Rocky tweaked from his 2016 track “Telephone Calls.”

The creative consultant sent a post from the performance asking the Harlem native “the fuck is this about?”
Rocky downplayed the situation: “Bout nuttin, u prolly wont believe me lol, word to tho, can’t blame u if u don’t.”
Regardless if there was no static between them, Connor wanted Rocky to publicly clear up the situation and he went on to share the DMs to his IG Story anyway.

“They runnin wit dat, I jabbed @ bruh and 4got the lyrics mid sentence, listen closely, ‘he da shit,'” Rocky said while attempting to clarify the diss. “Don’t feed into that yung, no plea coppin but u know u good in my book we ain’t on dat type of time.”
Connor replied: “Tell them folks that Flacko, I look brazy even if it’s mistaken. I been out here doin good staying sucka free to minimal bullshit and now I’m all over the place for you taking shots at Bari. Instant Karma maybe but I can’t digg that.”
Ian Connor, who has been no stranger to conflict, warned rappers to not put his name in any bars going forward.
“Don’t put my name in no songs from this point forward, y’all n***as is not Lil Durk and I’m not India,” he wrote in a final IG Story.
Rocky sparked the conflict with some choice reworked bars from “Telephone Calls,” which landed on the Mob’s Cozy Tapes: Vol. 1 project.
“Call up young lord ASAP Bari, he a bitch,” he raps. “And the young boy Ian Connor, he a bitch.”

Rocky distanced himself from Bari but had been supportive of Connor as recently as 2020 when he told Kerwin Frost: “I heard of people doing some real fucked up shit. I can say that he gets picked on more than people think. A lot of it is cyberbullying.”
