Some believe that Peters fumbled his chance to work with the rapper; meanwhile, some believe that Peters was merely thrilled.The dispute began when Peters shared a screenshot of A$AP Rocky's direct message asking whether he would be interested in redesigning a company logo. Peters captioned the photo:"I have no words."According to the screenshot, A$AP Rocky wrote:“Good morning Allan. How much do u charge for brand logo revisions? Assuming you would be willing to do so I would be honored, love ur work, god bless.”To which Peters replied before uploading screenshots:"I'm star struck. Not gonna lie."Rocky did not like the fact that the message was made public. Within hours, he responded in the comments, writing in all caps:"THIS IS JUST DISTASTEFUL. WELL I GUESS WE WON'T BE WORKING. BEST OF LUCK BUDDY."Peters later deleted the post and has not publicly responded to Rocky's comment.The incident quickly went viral on social media.
