His style dilemmas clearly needed a strong metaphor

A$AP Rocky has compared his fashion dilemmas to the Civil Rights Movement in a new, every-so-slightly controversial statement.

Speaking to New York Magazine, the 'Fashion Killa' rapper said: "I can say that I've been scrutinized for my fashion since I was about 15 years old. A lot of people got it easy. I feel like I had to go through the whole Civil Rights Movement just to be comfortable, to make other people comfortable, to be able to wear what they want to wear, and a lot of dudes are just claiming to have it without having to have that sacrifice or suffering through all that kind of shit. We've been through that kind of shit. That's all I can really say about it. It is really miniscule. It's no real beef." 

The comments appear to reference lyrics from his latest track, Multiply, which allude to a beef with fashion labels, Hood by Air and BEEN TRILL: "HBA shit is weak, you can keep that" and “I ain’t really fuckin’ with that BEEN TRILL".

Listen to the track below. 

A$AP Mob member A$AP Yams recently confirmed A$AP Rocky's next solo album is coming "very soon."
