People.com is reporting that a judge has pushed back the trial of rapper-actor-model A$AP Rocky. The trial was related to claims surrounding an alleged 2021 physical altercation with his former friend and plaintiff A$AP Relli.
In a Tuesday, Oct. 22 hearing in Los Angeles, Rocky’s trial was moved from its original November date to Jan. 21. His lawyer, Joe Tacopina, announced the delay was due to a scheduling conflict with his show at Rolling Loud Thailand 2024.
“Things were moved in part because Rocky has a benefit concert in Bangkok in late November and in part because we’re still dealing with some issues on discovery,” Tacopina told reporters outside the courtroom, according to People. “We all agree with Thanksgiving… and Christmas… I think everyone decided it’s best to do this in January. It’s a firm date.”
Relli filed a civil suit for assault, battery and emotional distress against Rocky on Aug. 10, 2022. Rocky has denied all claims.
