Rapper A$AP Rocky has spoken in-depth about A$AP Yams’ death for the first time since the unfortunate passing.
Yams passed away last week and the cause of death is still unknown. He was the creator of the A$AP Mob in 2007. Rocky appeared at the Sundance Film Festival yesterday to attend the premiere of Dope, a film that will see Rocky make his big-screen acting debut. The ‘Wild For The Night’ rapper will star in the film which follows a geeky high-school kid who hangs out with fellow outcasts and get into trouble as a group.

The Harlem rapper performed two songs at the premiere’s after-party and spoke to Billboard, 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. 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.”
Many speculate that the cause of Yams’ death was a drug overdose but Rocky dismissed those claims: "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.”
