Ian Connor accuses A$AP Rocky of killing A$AP Yams
A$AP Yams, manager and founder of A$AP Mob, which gave the world rappers like A$AP Rocky and A$AP Ferg, died in January 2015 at just 26 years old from an overdose.
Yams' death shocked the US Hip-Hop community. Among the most relevant tweets we find condolences from: Drake, The Weeknd, Macklemore, MIA, Wale, Azealia Banks, Kid Cudi, French Montana and obviously his friend A$AP Rocky.
During his performance at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Rocky, who was promoting the film “Dope”, in which he made his acting debut, performed live and dedicated the single “Multiply” to Yams.
“I want to dedicate the next piece to a dear friend of mine who passed away. RIP A$AP Yams“, he said.
In an interview with Billboard he then spoke about that performance and Yams, declaring that he did not die of an overdose. These are his words: “that performance was about to make me cry. I had to do it, because I tried to keep my emotions hidden, but I was really sad. Unfortunately I have to come to terms with it. I can't do anything else. People think that Yams died of an overdose, but the reality is different. He didn't take any drugs and didn't overdose. You will not get the truth from me about the cause of his death. People get that idea because they look at photos of him doing something like that. But if you knew him in person, you only saw A$AP Yams with Hennessy or a few drinks”.
11 years later, Ian Connor accuses A$AP Rocky of being responsible for the death of A$AP Yams. He does it on X, where he writes “Rocky killed Yams”.
Ian Connor was Wiz Khalifa's stylist when he was a teenager, and later collaborated with Kanye West, A$AP Mob, Virgil Abloh and Kylie Jenner.
