A$AP Rocky Speaks On Black Lives Matter Comments on The Breakfast Club

A$AP Rocky has been receiving much backlash since his comments about the Black Lives Matter movement last year in Timeout Magazine where he said:

They’re not forcing me to do s***. I’m just gonna stay black and die. Why, because I’m black? So every time something happens because I’m black I gotta stand up? What the f*** am I, Al Sharpton now? I’m A$AP Rocky. I did not sign up to be no political activist. I wanna talk about my motherf***’ lean, my best friend dying, the girls that come in and out of my life, the jiggy fashion that I wear, my new inspirations in drugs!

I don’t wanna talk about no f*** Ferguson and s*** because I don’t live over there! I live in f**** Soho and Beverly Hills. I can’t relate. I’m in the studio; I’m in these fashion studios; I’m in these b***s’ drawers. I’m not doing anything outside of that. That’s my life.

Making his way to The Breakfast Club this morning, the PMF sat down with DJ Envy, Angela Yee, and Charlamagne Tha God clear up this misconceptions of his statement, policy brutality, his responsibility as an artist, and much more.
