The first time the discussion about similarities in style between Rocky and Scott became big was in January 2016. Then, ASAP Nast, a member of the ASAP Mob, made accusations that Scott was "biting" their style.
At the time, Rocky responded in a non-accusatory way. He simply commented that imitation was the highest form of flattery.
Further, he disagreed with his group member and said Scott was only "doing his thing." He did not feel threatened about Scott stealing their style as he wanted Scott's music to do the talking instead.
Then, in April 2018, rap legend Funk Flex made comments about how a "Bunch of rappers stole Asap Rocky’s swag" on Twitter, riling up both artists' fanbases two years after the initial comments.
On October 15, 2019, after years of apparent feuding with Scott, Rocky had enough of the beef and tweeted out, "THAT ME N TRAVIS BEEF [expletive] SO PLAYED OUT , LET IT GO."
All this time, it appeared as if Rocky had risen above the noise. But with his latest comments, it seems like he is up for another bout with Scott.
