Overview
- Designer Allan Peters posted a screenshot of a direct message from A$AP Rocky asking about rates for brand logo revisions, captioning the post “I have no words.”
- Rocky replied in the post’s comments calling the sharing “distasteful” and writing that they would not be working together, which effectively rescinded the offer.
- Peters deleted the DM screenshot hours later and has not issued a formal public statement, though he posted Instagram Stories celebrating passing one million followers.
- The exchange circulated across social media and prompted sharp discussion among creators about whether private client outreach should be posted as content.
- The incident highlights a tension between content-driven incentives for influencers and the discretion that underpins trust in creative partnerships, and it drew extra attention because Rocky is actively touring in support of his new album.
