Over the weekend, news and tributes began to surface that J. Scott, a pivotal member of A$AP Mob, passed away.
It’s still publicly unknown as to the cause of Scott’s passing. In his tribute, A$AP Ferg referred to Scott as “one of the healthiest guys I knew but I guess God needed him.” For Kilo Kish, the musician remembered the mentor/manager on Instagram and recalled moments of growth influenced by Scott’s beliefs.
“He allowed for me to be the artist that I am by nurturing risk and exploration in the face of fear (mine, not his),” Kish wrote. “Sticking by my side, he’s been my second eyes, ears, and hand for a decade. In the beginning, We ate countless dollar pizzas and packs of noodles. I sat in reed space for hours. We walked the whole city some days (for fun). He selflessly put his pursuits on hold to help me (and many other friends). He trusted me. He believed in me. He believed we all had something different to say.”
