This is due to his collaboration with Puma and F1.

New York rapper and artist, ASAP Rocky, is facing some legal issues right now. Just yesterday, November 20, more updates were brought to light on a case from 2021. Rocky allegedly shot ASAP Relli and the Los Angeles judge found probable cause. According to TMZ among other reports, preliminary hearings led to this development that support his present charges of two counts of first-degree assault with a firearm. A trial is expected to happen sometime soon with arraignment expected to happen on January 8.

While Rocky is not in the best state right now, he has done a lot of good things this year. One of which is his contributions to the fashion and sports world. Not too long ago, he was named the creative director for the collaboration between Puma and F1. The line includes pieces such as racing gloves, jackets, helmets, and more.

A looping video plays and it showcases some of the gear in the clothing drop. Additionally, he is the first rapper to appear on the Las Vegas Sphere.
