Sims originally sued A$AP Rocky for breach of contract, saying he owed him $850,000, $300,000 worth of commission and $550,000 from deals that he made for the rapper. He says Rocky signed him as his personal assistant in 2011 and was promised 15 percent of the “L$D” rapper’s gross income.
Rocky says that he fulfilled all of his obligations to Sims and fired him in 2014. The rapper says that he hired a second manager once his career began to takeoff, which led to renegotiations with Sims. He is accusing the ex-manager of disclosing details regarding his finances and personal life and is asking the court to state that he doesn’t owe Sims any more money.
