In a recent Apple Music conversation, A$AP Rocky spoke thoughtfully about his relationship with A$AP Ferg. He offered a candid assessment shaped more by time than tension. The remarks arrived without theatrics. In this way, they presented a portrait of two artists whose paths have diverged while mutual respect remains. Rocky framed the distance not as a rift, but as a consequence of growth.
Rocky acknowledged that he and Ferg have not spoken in some time. However, he emphasized that his feelings toward his longtime collaborator remain unchanged. He admitted that Ferg’s decision to remove “A$AP” from his name struck a personal nerve. Even so, it never turned into bitterness. “I haven’t seen Ferg in a minute, man,” he said. “I’ll always love Ferg. He’s got a good heart. That decision to drop A$AP? It bothered me, but I wish him the best.”
While Rocky did not rule out the possibility of reconnecting in the future, he made clear that his attention is currently focused elsewhere. Furthermore, his tone suggested closure rather than conflict. This signaled an acceptance that not all bonds move forward in the same way.
The Present Reality of A$AP Mob
Ferg has yet to publicly respond to Rocky’s latest comments. However, he addressed the group’s status in an interview last year with Touré. “I don’t think there is A$AP anymore,” Ferg said, pointing to the absence of new group music or projects like Cozy Tape. While acknowledging the collective’s cultural impact, he suggested that its structure has fundamentally changed.
Ferg added that public perception of A$AP Mob has long centered on himself and Rocky. “While people cling to the legacy we built, when you think of A$AP, it’s primarily about me and Rocky in terms of music. Our journey was bolstered by the likes of Bari and Yams. Yet we emerged as the primary faces of this movement. We came together as a group and found joy in that synergy. Even so, we’ve since evolved into separate entities.”
