The hip-hop community is still reeling over the sudden death of A$AP Yams. On Sunday (Jan. 18) A$AP Ferg went on stage at the Fillmore, in Silver Spring, Md., and asked the crowd for a moment of silence to honor his fallen comrade.
“Rest in peace A$AP Yams,” he said, holding a peace sign in the air, as the hushed crowd held their smartphones up in solidarity.
Ferg also predicted what the A$AP Mob founder would have said if he’d been on stage with him. “If Yams was here partying with us right now, he might have told you he’ll f—ed your bitch,” he said, before launching into ‘Dump Dump’ off his debut album, ‘Trap Lord.’
Although the cause of Yams’ death is still unknown, A$AP Ant went on VLAD TV to dispel rumors that the enterprising rap mogul died of a drug overdose.
“People keep talking saying he overdosed on Xanax and s— like that,” he said. “No, that’s not what happened at all. I don’t want to talk on it and I’ll let people find out by themselves but it wasn’t that at all.”
