A$AP Rocky has been pretty silent since the death of his long-time friend, A$AP Yams. Rocky performed on Saturday, Jan. 24 at the Sundance Film Festival in which he dedicated his final of two songs to his fallen friend. Later on in the night, he addressed his friend’s death and his emotions about it saying, “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,” he added, “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.”
Rocky also addressed the rumors circulating about Yams’ death saying, “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 get it together. This all happened and the timing is so wrong, with me doing Sundance and Mens Fashion Week in Paris,” he told Billboard, “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.”
