Rihanna’s boyfriend A$AP Rocky is hit with $1 million lawsuit for ‘catastrophic’ damages to a neighbour’s New York City apartment
A$AP Rocky‘s downstairs neighbour in his exclusive New York apartment building is suing, claiming a leak from the rapper’s $11 million condo caused ‘catastrophic’ damage.
Rihanna‘s rapper boyfriend -whose real name is Rakim Mayers – owns a 4,800-square-foot, three bedroom full-floor loft in the building, which was constructed in 1895 and renovated in the 1990s.
Court documents show that the owner of the $6.5 million apartment below the rapper’s claims that a December 2024 leak caused flooding that made the condo ‘completely uninhabitable.’
The lawsuit was filed on October 30 with the Manhattan County Supreme Court, according to The Independent, and blames ‘devastating water intrusion’ on the ‘negligence of the putative owner of the apartment, Rakim Athelaston Mayers (a/k/a A$AP Rocky),’ and a local contractor, ADE Pro Painting.
The owner of the unit below claims their home ‘suffered damage and destruction’ to its ‘fixtures, furnishings and improvements,’ as well as to ‘furniture, clothing, and personal items,’ of at least $700,000.
The court documents state that the apartment’s residents have spent $200,000 on alternate living arrangements and other out-of-pocket expenses since the incident.

The neighbor of A$AP Rocky, seen here performing in the UK, says she was displaced by his contractor’s negligence. She is now suing the rapper for $1.1 million
The damage is said to have occured last December when several hot water pipes burst in and around Rocky’s apartment.
According to the filing, workers from ADE Pro Painting opened windows to ventilate the unit during maintenance work and allegedly left them open despite freezing temperatures.
That decision, paired with mechanical issues in the heating system, reportedly led to the flood.
The plaintiffs are now seeking a minimum of $900,000 from Tyson Beem as A$AP Rocky’s representative, the condo board, and ADE Pro Painting and a minimum of $200,000 from the condo board.
In an email, the owner of ADE Pro Painting told The Independent, ‘I want to say that I signed a NDA with the rapper, so that prevents me from providing certain details. I want to say that we are also affected from this situation, and we did not get pay [sic] for certain services provided.’
Their insurance company is now handling the matter, the spokesperson said. A represenative for A$AP Rocky has been contacted by Daily Mail for comment.
In February the rapper was dramatically acquittal on felony gun charges – telling DailyMail.com: ‘I cannot express how relieved I am.’

Rocky faced two decades in prison for his alleged involvement in a 2021 dust-up with former pal Terell Ephron, aka A$AP Relli.
But defence attorney-to-the-stars Joe Tacopina convinced jurors that the Praise the Lord hitmaker was the victim of an extortion plot.
‘I cannot express how relieved I am especially for our family,’ Rocky told DailyMail.com in a statement at the time.
‘Rihanna and I can get back to our lives and our kids without this trial hanging over our heads like it has been for the last three years.’
Tacopina received high praise from Rocky who said he ‘believed in me’ and followed through by showing why he’s ‘the best trial lawyer in the country’
