Personal Life and Jailing

Ian is currently dating Raven Tracy, the founder of Body by Raven Tracy, and a famous Freedom Models Agency supermodel.

He proposed to her on her birthday in 2019 – there were rumours that Connor popped the question only because he was about to go to jail, but he denied the allegations through a tweet on 28 June 2019 stating that: ‘I did not propose to Tracy because I’m being imprisoned. I proposed to her because everybody knows… I’m in love with her and it was her birthday.’

In 2019, Ian was charged with illegal possession of two firearms, and was sentenced to serve a 12-months jail term. The Los Angeles Superior Court also found him guilty of negligently discharging a firearm, and so he was also ordered to serve a three-year formal probation.

Rumors and Controversies

Connor has also been indicted for sexual assault; according to one of the victims, a student from Emory University, Ian raped her on 5 October 2014.

Her accusation was investigated by Atlanta-based law enforcement officers, and following her allegations, a few other women came out to publicly claim that they had also been raped by Ian. During an interview with The Daily Beast, Amber Rose stated that 20 women had also gone to her to report that Connor had assaulted them sexually. Some of these women include Malika, who had filed a sexual battery report against him.

Jean Deaux, a musical artist based in Chicago, also accused Ian of the same offence, stating that she first met him on Instagram, and after exchanging a few direct messages, they shared their contact information and eventually met briefly in Chicago during a concert. According to her, they made plans to meet again for shopping a week later – she wanted him to meet her in the SoHo neighborhood in New York.

However, Ian failed to show up, and as she was preparing to go back to Chicago, she received a ‘phone call from him. He sounded distressed, and told her that he’d been beaten up and shot by A$AP Mob members, and asked her to meet him in Manhattan, where they would spend some time before they went shopping. When Deaux met him, she followed him to what looked like a motel, and according to her report, this is where she was raped. However, Ian denied Deaux’s allegations through a tweet, and despite all these allegations, he hasn’t been arrested or charged with rape.
