A$AP Rocky says he wasn’t hurt in attack

ATLANTA

Rapper A$AP Rocky said he came away unhurt during a recent attack on him inside a hotel elevator in New Zealand.

Rocky told The Associated Press on Sunday that he was in a “fist exchange” that occurred Wednesday in Auckland, New Zealand. He performed that same day at Auckland’s Vector Arena.

The 27-year-old rapper said he was in an elevator with some women and his “security,” when a man tried to ride with them. When they refused to let him on, a scuffle followed. No one in his party was hurt.

“The girls were fine,” Rocky said. “They were OK. No scratches on the ladies. Everybody is fine.”

Other media reports say three men attempted to enter the elevator.

Rocky was in the midst of a six-city tour that ended in Perth, Australia, on Sunday.
