A$AP Rocky’s interview with Jason Lee might be his realest one ever.

A$AP Rocky has always made it clear that A$AP Mob means a lot to him, and his latest interview with Jason Lee proved that the group’s changes still hit close to home.

Over the years, A$AP Mob went from being one of the most respected collectives in hip-hop to a group with members pursuing separate paths. One of the biggest changes came when FERG decided to move forward without the A$AP name attached to his identity.

Rocky was finally asked about the situation during his conversation with Jason Lee, and he didn’t hold back. While he understands why FERG may have wanted to step away, Rocky believes the idea that FERG was stuck in his shadow was never accurate.

“We were in a group called ‘A$AP Rocky & D Ferg’ before everybody changed their names,” Rocky explained. “I’m guessing he always felt in my shadow, when that’s not the case.”

Rocky also spoke about how the timing of FERG’s announcement bothered him, especially since it happened shortly before his trial. He questioned why FERG was making such a major statement when streaming platforms still recognize him as A$AP Ferg.

Aside from a few collectives here and there, people usually don’t stick together forever. A$AP Mob had a great run and definitely left its mark on the hip-hop game, but growing is a part of life, and sometimes that means growing apart. Besides, everyone and their mama is still going to call him A$AP Ferg anyway, so it’s all good.
