ASAP Ferg Blesses a Couple’s Wedding

When you're finally ready to get married, it goes without saying that you want the best for your partner. You want him or her to be happy, healthy and--on the wedding day, if nothing else--to have everything they've ever wanted. For an Australian man named Michael Dawson, that meant reaching out to one of Harlem's most raucous rappers for a personal touch. When A$AP Ferg was scheduled to play a show in Sydney, Dawson reached out to the rapper's people in hopes of securing a video greeting for his bride-to-be, whom Dawson says listens to Ferg "pretty much 24/7." "He put on a meet-and-greet," the groom told Pedestrian, "and the tour manager arranged for me to hang back to ask, then he introduced us and I gave him my spiel. I was so surprised when he said 'Yeah sure', he was actually super down with it."

Above, you can see both the video Ferg recorded and the bride's reaction. "The language raised a few eyebrows among the older family members who had no idea who he was," Dawson says, but his new wife, Jessica, was apparently "over the moon." Fans of Ferg don't have to tie the knot to see him in the near future; the Trap Lord star will host a visual art tribute to the late A$AP Yams on Dec. 5 at Art Basel in Miami. Yams, the blogger, manager and entrepreneur who masterminded Ferg and Rocky's rises, passed away earlier this year.
