News: ASAP Rocky Speaks out on the death of ASAP Yams

ASAP Rocky attended the Sundance Movie Festival over the weekend for the premier of a new movie he is in called Dope. But, the mood was rather somber due to the passing of fellow ASAP Mob member ASAP Yams who was also the co-founder of ASAP Worldwide. He performed 2 songs at Sundance but explained to Billboard why his set was so short: he’s in mourning. In fact, he revealed, later that night he would be hopping on a plane, presumably back to New York, to attend Yams’ burial. Rocky had this to say about the death of his dear friend and business partner:

‘That performance — that was just going to stop me from crying. I had to address it, because the whole time I was rapping and I wasn’t into it, which is sad, but I just gotta keep it real. I can’t front. It’s even harder knowing that I gotta fly out in less than an hour just to go bury him. That’s the part that eats at me.’

‘People were saying that Yams overdosed on drugs — he didn’t overdose on any drugs, I feel like people feel that way because that’s all he’s in pictures doing. When you see A$AP Yams you see Hennessey or purple drink, you see some type of controlled substance or illegal narcotic.’

‘I’ll be back in my zone in a bit, I just got it together. This all happened and the timing is so wrong, with me doing Sundance and Mens Fashion Week in Paris.’

‘I’m a happy spirit, man, and I feel like time heals, It’s all about good people with good energy, and the universe keeps producing them to me. I’ll be fine. God is good and I keep all hope and faith.’ -ASAP Rocky
