A$AP Rocky Angers Fans By Saying He ‘Can’t Relate’ To Black Issues

Published: Saturday 16th Jul 2016 by Rashad

Looks like after some unearthed controversial comments from last year, 2016 sees ‘F**kin’ Problems’ performer A$AP Rocky with just that on his hands – a f**kin’ problem.

Indeed, the hitmaking rapper took to Time Out magazine last year to dish on new music and other happenings in his career at the time.  However, when quizzed on his thoughts about the shooting of Michael Brown at the hands of policemen in Ferguson, MO, he replied:

“I did not sign up to be no political activist..I don’t wanna talk about no f*cking Ferguson and sh*t because I don’t live over there. I live in f*cking Soho and Beverly Hills. I can’t relate.”

Going on to say he’d much rather talk about drugs, alcohol, fashion, and women, the year-old comments somehow found new life recently in light of similar tragedies that have taken over headlines this month. The heat got so intense it led Rocky to go on a Twitter rant to address his detractors.  Read his now deleted tweets below:
