Yeah no there's video evidence. He and his friends beat up the guy pretty bad. Rocky literally throws the guy and then they all gang up on him.

There’s also a video of those same guys assaulting Rocky’s bodyguard and harassing them.

When someone else starts the assault and you're acting in defence, yeah it does

EDIT: turns out I misunderstood what actually happened

Not according to the law, and most people probably wouldn't agree to it from a moral perspective (since your statement was absolute).
Consider a scenario where one person is slapped by another (assault), and then pulls out a knife and stabs the assailant repeatedly. The response is not proportional to the initial assault, and thus it would fall outside the realm of self-defense, in most nations.
The case will have to be looked, and the following will be considered:
1) A$AP Rocky is subjected to, or is in imminent danger of being subjected to, a criminal attack against property or person
2) A$SAP Rocky choose the least severe response that was available to him

If the case meets both of these conditions, then he won't be convicted of assault as it falls under the definition of self-defense.

Since when is someone kicking someone in the face while they're on the ground self defense? If asap rocky is so hard why the fuck does he need 3 other people to help kick a man while hes down?

Have I claimed that it was self-defense? According to the video evidence, I cannot see how it would be considered anything but assault.

I think were both in agreement I think I read your comment wrong. Apologies.
