A$AP Mob co-founder A$AP Bari is going to do zip-zero time despite pleading guilty to sexually assaulting a woman in 2017. The hip-hop executive appeared in a London court Thursday (January 3) to enter his guilty plea over a Curtain Hotel incident in July 2017.
According to reports, Bari will only have to pay a fine for his crime and – in exchange – avoid time behind bars.
As part of his plea deal, Bari was ordered to pay a $5,000 fine, pay the victim $3,150 … and he dodges jail time. The judge who presided over the case said, “The court does have concerns in this matter because it has exposed a very unpleasant attitude by you towards women.” She added, “You say that you were angry but there is no need to ever be so abusive and humiliating to a female.” (TMZ)
In November, Bari made headlines after getting busted on a drug possession charge in Pennsylvania.
The fashion designer was arrested Thursday in Palmer Township, PA and hit with 2 counts of manufacturing, delivery or possession with intent to distribute drugs … according to law enforcement sources. It’s unclear what drugs he was allegedly slinging. A$AP’s also been charged with misdemeanor counts of possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance. He was booked at the Northampton County Prison and bail was set at $25k. He was released after bonding out. (TMZ)
Back in September, rap star Kanye West stood up for Bari amid past attack allegations.
Love over everything else.

Bari challenged me when no one else did and when he got in trouble I was scared to say he was my friend just like I did with xxx and that was some pussy shit on my part. I let the perception and the robots control me. That’s the true sunken place.

Bari I appreciate your perspective and vision. You brought me closer to Rocky too. Jedis never let perception and cancel culture get between them.
