A$AP Rocky For Interview Magazine

A$AP Rocky, aka Rakim Mayers, 23, Harlem born, pescatarian, formerly homeless……and oh yea, purdy as hell, just signed a multi-million dollar music contract. Naturally his press coverage has bumped up quite a bit since then. The photograph above is from an Interview magazine feature and here is a quote from the q&a in which he’s asked about homophobia in the hiphop community:

“Well, I haven’t been a gay activist. I haven’t protested for gay rights or none of that, but one thing I can say is that a lot of the designers I wear are gay and I like their clothes. Why can’t I be friends with somebody who’s gay? Why not? You can miss out on a lot by being so small-minded and stereotypical about people. It’s stupid. Who people like is their own business. It don’t concern me. I know what I do—and I’m having a lot of fun with the women that I’m with.”

See a video he recently did with Vice, called “Wassup” on the next page.
