There’s a reason why Ferg decided to take A$AP out of his name.
The Harlem rapper sat down for a conversation with veteran rap journalist Touré on his podcast and when asked about the status of A$AP Mob, Ferg had an interesting answer.
“Well, I don’t think there is A$AP anymore,” Ferg said. “There’s not a Cozy Tape out; a new one. There’s not an office, there’s not a record label, A$AP Worldwide. I think it’s a thing of the past.” He added: “I think people hold onto the legacy that we created and those things, but when you think about A$AP — I think from the music point — you think about me and Rocky who did the music and all of that. Of course, it was built off the backs of Bari and Yams and all of that, but we’re the faces. I feel like if we’re not making no new music or putting out no new timestamps, then there’s no A$AP.”
However, he still spoke positively about what the Mob was able to accomplish over the years. “We came together as a collective and we loved it and we’ve grown into these different entities,” he said. “But we came together as a collective to do something positive and create opportunities for ourselves and our family and our friends. So we killed it. We did that for 12 years.”
Ferg originally decided to drop A$AP from his stage name around 2021, but it was supposed to be for any business ventures outside of whatever obligations he had while working with the collective.
