The gig comes amid reports that a British mother-of-three has claimed A$AP has been ‘secretly messaging’ her for months, just weeks after denying rumors that he’d cheated on the singer with shoe designer Amina Muaddi.
The Sun have claimed that a woman named Jilly O’Donnell, 45, was contacted by someone who appears to be the rapper, 33, on Instagram, where he ‘bombarded her with flirty messages.’
According to Jilly, the alleged communication between herself and Rocky began in December 2021 and continued until ‘the start of last month.’
It was also alleged that he once offered to fly Jilly ‘1,700 miles to Ukraine to meet him’ months prior to the Russian invasion in February.

In a message purported to be from the rapper, he wrote: ‘I’m down, would you be down to meet me in Ukraine? If I sort it out I could arrange for u to be there when I get there.’
Responding to the message, Jilly insisted travel restrictions prevented her from flying as the UK continued to feel repercussions of the coronavirus pandemic.
She wrote: ‘I can’t get to Ukraine haha, I can’t even afford Xmas after lockdown last year. Plus the Prime Minister is a fat useless b*****d so no one is allowed anywhere. You should come here. Ukraine sounds freezing.’
Rocky allegedly responded with: ‘What you guys can’t travel anywhere???? That sucks. I just got here. Freezing my f*****g balls off. The gym here is beautiful though.’

He later added: ‘Man, I got so fat in the past week. Wish we could have worked out.’
DailyMail.com have reached out to representatives for both A$AP Rocky and Rihanna for comment.
Speaking to the outlet, Jilly alleged that Rocky reached out on the social media app in December but she initially ‘had absolutely no idea who he was.
‘I saw there was a blue tick on his name on Instagram so I asked my daughters. They told me it’s Rihanna’s boyfriend and thought it was hilarious,’ she claimed.
Jilly claimed that Rocky had sent her three messages over the span of ten hours without any response from her.

When the paddle-boarding instructor did finally reply to the rapper’s alleged direct messages, she claimed that he ‘liked her comment with a heart emoji’ and they went on to ‘exchange dozens of messages’ over the next several months.
Jilly claims to have no idea why she was seemingly messaged by the rapper when he has 14.7million followers on Instagram, while she has just 1,500 followers.
It comes after a source told US Weekly that Rihanna is choosing to focus on her pregnancy amid her boyfriend A$AP Rocky‘s recent arrest.
The insider said: ‘she hasn’t spoken much about [the arrest]. She’s truly focused on her pregnancy and not trying to get too stressed.’
The source added that the superstar is confident about a positive outcome: ‘She is very confident about everything and has told friends she just hopes for a positive outcome.’
The rapper, 33 – born Rakim Athelaston Mayers – was arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department in connection with a November 2021 shooting in Hollywood.
He was taken into custody right after he and Rihanna returned from their vacation in Barbados on Wednesday, April 20.
The musician posted his $550,000 bail and was photographed being released from a Los Angeles jail that same day – just hours after he was arrested at LAX.

Los Angeles police were investigating Mayers after a man claimed the rapper shot him in the area of Selma and Argyle Avenues following an argument.
Mayers is accused of approaching an acquaintance on the street around 10:15pm on November 6 and firing a handgun at him three or four times.
One of the bullets reportedly grazed the victim’s left hand and he later sought medical treatment.
After the alleged shooting Mayers and two other men, who he had reportedly been walking with, fled the scene.
Authorities collaborated with the victim and were ultimately able to name Mayers as a suspect in the shooting.
Police arrested the rapper with the help of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The case will soon be presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for filing consideration.
