A$AP Rocky refuses to work with graphic designer after he shares 'distasteful' private DM

A$AP Rocky has called out a graphic designer who shared a private direct message on Instagram.

The 'Sundress' rapper had reached out to Allan Peters, a graphic designer and logo creator to work together but later changed his mind.

But their potential collaboration was over way before it had even started, with Rocky pulling out after Peters shared their private Instagram DM publicly, calling the post 'distasteful'.

According to posts shared online, the now-deleted Instagram post included a message from Rocky in which he asked him about revisions on brand logo work.

"How much do u charge for brand logo revisions?" the message from the American rapper read. "Assuming you would be willing to do so I would be honoured. Love ur work. God bless."

However, Peters then posted a screenshot of the private message publicly. Rocky responded directly in the comments, calling the move 'distasteful' and pulling the plug.

"Well I guess we won't be working, best of luck buddy," he wrote.

The post, captioned 'I have no words' was later deleted by Peters, who has one million followers. He has not yet issued any public statements on the exchange which has drawn in mass attention online.

Meanwhile on Threads, writer Alex Washington defended the rapper, writing: "I know somebody somewhere is going to A$AP was wrong, but he's not.

"Everything isn't content. If you leaked this what else are you going to leak before the deal is done?"

LADbible has reached out to Allan Peters for comment. A$AP Rocky has also not referenced the brief exchange, which was later removed from social media altogether.

It is unclear what Rocky was hoping to collaborate on, but he also founded AWGE, an American creative agency, online-shop and record label in 2014.
