sudden death of A$AP mob co-founder A$AP YamsBillboard

As previously reportedlate Steven Rodriguez

A$AP Ant and Joey Fatts initially denied the speculation Yams’ death was caused by an overdose. A$AP Rocky said that Yams' tragic death "eats at him" and backed up the claim that his fellow mob member didn't die by drugs.

“People were saying that Yams overdosed on drugs — he didn’t overdose on any drugs,” he said. “I feel like people feel that way because that’s all he’s in pictures doing. When you see A$AP Yams you see Hennessey or purple drink, you see some type of controlled substance or illegal narcotic.”

We have reached out to A$AP Mob's reps for comment and the NYC Office of Chief Medical Examiner. XXL will keep you posted as new progressed.
