Wow! 😳 I Concur.
Even if the designer is a fan, he should have stayed in a business mind frame from the beginning and after the contract was signed between them.
But the contract never happened because he acted like a fan first instead of a business man first.
A$AP Rocky reached out to a designer with a simple DM.
Hours later, the opportunity was gone.
Rocky privately messaged branding designer Allan Peters, writing:
🗣 "Good morning Allan, how much do u charge for brand logo revisions?... I would be honored. Love your work. God bless."
Before replying, Peters posted a screenshot of the private message on social media with the caption:
🗣"I have no words."
Rocky saw it...
His response was immediate:
🗣 "THIS IS JUST DISTASTEFUL... Well I guess we won't be working. Best of luck, buddy."
The post was later deleted, but by then it had already gone viral. Some people defended the designer, saying he was simply excited as a fan.
Others argued that a private business conversation should have stayed private—especially before any agreement had even been made.
However one thing is certain, a potential client turned into a missed opportunity.
Sometimes, you lose a good chance by talking about it too soon.
In business, trust is always more valuable than attention.
