A$AP Rocky has revealed where he stands with the rap collective A$AP Mob.
In recent months, fans have questioned whether the hip-hop collective is still together after former member A$AP Relli, real name Terell Ephron, accused Rocky of shooting at him in November 2021.
Now, in a recent interview with Elle, the rapper confirmed that the crew hadn’t split up, but were in the process of building bridges.
“I ain’t bulls**tting. This ain’t no politically correct answer,” he said. “Anybody who used to be my protégés, my friends, my musical band partners, and they don’t f**k with me, that’s ’cause they don’t f**k with me.”
The 36-year-old, real name Rakim Mayers, added, “I don’t have animosity toward anybody. I don’t have a reason to. I’m too happy.”
Rocky then went on to admit that he feels unappreciated in the group.
“I played a father figure for a lot of these guys despite us being close in age,” he told the publication. “It’s different when people are sleeping on your floor, your couch, your bed. When you’ve got 13 people living in a one-bedroom apartment, and you just got money – especially when you don’t have to. So I look at it as my children just being rebellious.”
Rocky also noted that he is not trying to paint himself as a victim, noting, “I really do sleep well at night, because I know I’m not trying to do anybody dirty. I just want everybody to be together.”
In February, Rocky was found not guilty of two felony assault charges after being accused of shooting at his former friend during an altercation.
The A$AP Mob was formed in Harlem, New York, in 2006.
