Jan. 18 marks the two-year anniversary of Yams’ passing from mixed drug intoxication. Members of the A$AP Mob have also said that his sleep apnea contributed to his death. In a 2015 discussion with MTV News, A$AP Rocky talked about how he didn’t just lose a friend when Yams passed, he lost a brother above all.
“[Yams] was my partner in this sh**,” he explained. “He’s the person I knew when I was broke, that was helping me when we didn’t know what was going to happen…he didn’t know what was going to happen. He only had faith in me just as much as I had faith in myself.”
