More about the lawsuit against A$AP Rocky
As per Chez Ni, LLC's lawsuit, the flooding incident goes back to December 2024. ADE Pro Painting was working in Rocky's condo and allegedly opened the windows “to exhaust fumes created from the work performed.” However, they allegedly didn't close them before leaving amidst freezing temperatures.
Moreover, some crucial radiator valves had allegedly been left closed. The lawsuit states:
“The closure of the supply valves and failure to install return valves created an objectively hazardous situation. ... Specifically, because the supply valves were closed, water could not circulate through the mechanical heating piping and the existing water remained trapped inside the fin tube radiators.”
This allegedly led to massive flooding. Sharing the extent of the alleged damage to their unit, the plaintiffs stated in the suit:
“Indeed, because of the torrent of water intrusion from Unit 5N, Plaintiff’s real and personal property was severely damaged or destroyed ... Making matters worse, to access and completely repair the concealed heating pipes to Unit 5N, portions of Unit 4NF’s ceiling were removed. Defendants waited several months before attempting to restore Unit 4NF’s ceiling.”
The plaintiffs accuse A$AP Rocky and ADE Pro Painting of “acting negligently and with reckless disregard of the safety of others.” They also allege that the condo board initially charged the plaintiffs around $42,000 for the damages instead of the rapper.
Meanwhile, the owner of ADE Pro Painting said about the lawsuit:
“I want to say that I signed a NDA with the rapper, so that prevents me from providing certain details. I want to say that we are also affected from this situation, and we did not get pay [sic] for certain services provided."
A$AP Rocky and his team haven't responded to the charges yet. Meanwhile, the lawsuit demands around $1.1 million in damages from the rapper and his team.
