A$AP Rocky 談論 A$AP Yams 離世

A$AP Rocky 銀幕處子作《Dope》近日於 Sundance 電影節迎來首映，本應大肆慶祝一番的 Pretty Flacko 卻因摯友 Steven 「A$AP Yams」Rodriguez 的不幸離世無心享受歡樂時光，在電影首映式後的派對中只演唱了兩首歌曲便匆匆離去。Rocky 更是強忍淚水，以第二首歌向好友致敬，悲痛情緒溢於言表。在接受《Billboard》的採訪中，Rocky 敞開心扉大談對 A$AP Yams 的思念之情，並向公眾再次說明 Yams 之死不是因為濫用藥物、沉溺毒品而致。感興趣的朋友可以前去 HYPETRAK 閱讀專訪完整內容。

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.
