Ferg, formerly known as A$AP Ferg, emerged and rose to stardom as a member of the sprawling A$AP Mob collective that boasted well over a dozen members at its heights. Largely inactive for a few years, Ferg shared an update about A$AP Mob in a new interview with veteran journalist, Touré.
Ferg sat down for an interview with the Touré Show and shared his views of where the A$AP Mob exists today, his hand in creating the collective, and where his career is heading now that he’s largely on his own.
“I don’t think there is A$AP [Mob] anymore,” Ferg began, answering Touré’s inquiry on the status of the collective. “It’s not a Cozy Tape out, not a new one, there’s not a office, it’s not a record label, A$AP Worldwide is not a record label. I think it’s a thing of the past.”
He continued, “I think people hold on to the legacy that we created and those things but when you think about A$AP, I think, from the music point, you think about me and Rocky who did the music and all of that. Of course, it was built on the back of Bari and Yams and all of that but we’re the faces. So I feel like if we not making no music, and not putting out no new timestamps, then there’s no A$AP.”
Ferg continued by saying that he’s solely focused on his own movement but doesn’t have any issues with A$AP Rocky or any past members of the crew, and instead is focusing on his musical direction and his latest album, Darold.
The A$AP Mob’s last release, Cozy Tapes Vol. 2: Too Cozy, was released in 2017 on Polo Grounds/RCA and later was certified Gold by the RIAA.
