According to reports by USA Today, ASAP was on his way back home after a trip to Barbados with his girlfriend Rihanna. 

In 2021, ASAP Rocky was involved in an altercation that led to him pulling out a weapon and shooting an individual. 

The investigation is currently underway and the police are still looking for other suspects involved in the shooting. 

As reported before, the victim had suffered minor injuries and was treated at a local hospital as a result. 

Thus far, this wouldn’t be ASAP Rocky’s first time getting into trouble. In 2019, ASAP Rocky was arrested in Sweden for an altercation that took place between him and two other men.

During his court hearing, ASAP Rocky described the incident as self-defense as the men were harassing them and not the other way around.
