“First you stole my flow / So I stole your b*tch / Then you stole my style / I need at least 10 percent / All due disrespect, I hope you take offense,” Rocky rapped on Sunday.

The “Fashion Killa” rapper didn’t include a name in the lyrics, but it didn’t take long for social media users to fill in the blanks. Fans quickly clocked the lyrics as a reference to Travis, who headlined on Saturday.
Rihanna and Travis were romantically linked in 2015, but she didn’t publicly claim him. She reportedly never wanted to either, so Rocky’s line probably cut deep.

It was “obviously embarrassing as f*ck” for Rih to date him, according to Lawrence Schlossman, who exposed the alleged situationship in a Complex interview. Meanwhile, Rihanna and Rocky’s Fenty family is flourishing with baby RZA and another baby on the way.

In 2020, Rocky downplayed the claims that Travis stole his flow as “flattery” in a Drink Champs interview. “You can’t feed into petty sh*t like that,” he said. However, the rapper agreed he “saw similarities, for sure. I saw that he was inspired and sh*t like that, but that’s what we in it for.”

The original lyrics were “Call the young Lord, A$AP Bari, he legit/ Money clean, young boy, Ian Connor off the sh*t.”
On Sunday, Rocky flipped the line to “Call up young lord A$AP Bari, he a b*tch.”
Many believed Rocky said the same thing about Ian Conner, but the designer posted receipts claiming that wasn’t the case. Ian took to Instagram Stories with alleged screenshots of DMs from Rocky denying the insult.

“F*ck this about?” Connor asked about a post from the Rolling Loud performance.
“Bout nuttin, u prolly wont believe me lol, word to tho, can’t blame u if u don’t,” the reply said.
“I like to hear unbelievable sh*t, cus wasgoin, when we set this tone?” Ian asked, doubling down. “Clear it up Flako I’m looking Brazy out here.”

“I been out here doin good staying sucka free to minimal bullsh*t and now I’m all over the place for you taking shots at Bari. Instant Karma maybe but I can’t digg that,” Ian continued.

Do you think the Ian Connor line was really a misheard or was A$AP Rocky just hiding his hands after throwing rocks?
