A$AP Rocky has been charged with assault after allegedly slapping a female fan whilst performing at Jay Z's Made In America concert in Philidelphia on Saturday.

A young woman filed a complaint against the rapper, claiming she sufferred whiplash when Rocky allegedly "turned and fired off an open-hand slap, connecting with her face", according to reports on American website TMZ.

The 'Goldie' artist has been charged with misdemeanor simple assault but this isn't the first time he has been caught lashing out at his fans.

A$AP Rocky was caught on video slapping another female fan across the face at a sold out concert in Sydney back in July. The footage shows him hitting her after she attempted to grab his hat whilst he made his way through the crowd. 

Rocky and the A$AP mob have a reputation for getting into fights at their gigs, including one which turned into a huge brawl at SXSW last year.
