Rapper A$AP Rocky (real name Rakim Mayers) is being sued by his downstairs neighbor in his exclusive New York apartment building. The lawsuit claims a leak from the rapper’s $11 million full-floor loft caused “catastrophic” damage, making the condo below “completely uninhabitable.”
The lawsuit, filed on October 30 with the Manhattan County Supreme Court, holds the rapper and a local contractor, ADE Pro Painting, responsible for the devastating water intrusion.
Details of the Incident and Damages
The plaintiff, the owner of the $6.5 million apartment below Rocky’s unit, claims the damage occurred in December 2024 when several hot water pipes burst in and around the rapper’s 4,800-square-foot condo.
According to the filing, the flood was caused by the negligence of the contractor, who allegedly opened windows to ventilate the unit during maintenance work and then left them open despite freezing temperatures. This decision, combined with mechanical issues in the heating system, reportedly led to the burst pipes and subsequent flooding.
The neighbor claims their home suffered damage and destruction to its fixtures, furnishings, improvements, furniture, clothing, and personal items, estimating the loss at at least $700,000. The apartment’s residents have also spent $200,000 on alternate living arrangements and other out-of-pocket expenses since the incident.
The plaintiffs are now seeking a minimum of $900,000 from A$AP Rocky’s representative, the condo board, and the contractor, plus an additional $200,000 from the condo board, bringing the total minimum sought to $1.1 million.
Contractor Claims They Weren’t Paid
In an email to The Independent, the owner of ADE Pro Painting suggested that they too were victims of the dispute.
“I want to say that I signed a NDA with the rapper, so that prevents me from providing certain details. I want to say that we are also affected from this situation, and we did not get pay [sic] for certain services provided,” the owner stated, confirming their insurance company is now handling the matter.
A representative for A$AP Rocky has been contacted for comment.
