## A$AP Rocky’s Insights on Life and Music

As the latest feature in *Elle*, A$AP Rocky recently spoke with renowned hip-hop journalist Clover Hope. In this candid conversation, he addressed some challenging situations in his life. Rocky reassured fans that, despite the ups and downs, he is managing quite well.

## The Ongoing Hip-Hop Rivalry

Rocky weighed in on the ongoing rivalry between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, noting that he finds it entertaining but doesn’t feel a personal connection to it. He mentioned that the clash is ultimately between Kendrick and Drake and not with anyone else involved. “It was healthy for hip-hop,” he stated. However, he expressed concern about the negative aspects emerging from the feud, mostly criticizing the legal actions involved.

### Focus on A$AP Mob

A significant part of Rocky’s journey is Linked to A$AP Mob, the Harlem-based rap collective that helped launch his career. Recently, former member Terell “A$AP Relli” Ephron accused him of a serious crime. Fortunately, Rocky was found not guilty in February. During his interview with *Elle*, he affirmed that their group remains strong, although there is much healing needed. “This ain’t no politically correct answer,” Rocky emphasized. “I don’t have animosity toward anybody. I’m too happy.”

## Emotional Connections and Leadership

Rocky expressed that while he still sees some members of A$AP Mob as family, there are residual feelings from past conflicts. He recalled being a guiding figure for many of them. “It’s different when you’ve got 13 people living in a one-bedroom apartment,” he noted. Despite these challenges, he clarified that he doesn’t view himself as a victim but desires unity among his peers.

## Current Projects and Personal Life

With a busy work schedule, Rocky is excited about his recent film, *Highest 2 Lowest*, directed by Spike Lee, alongside Denzel Washington. He is also set to star in A24’s *If I Had Legs I’d Kick You* this October. Additionally, he and Rihanna are anticipating the arrival of their third child. According to *Elle*, Rocky is hopeful for a daughter this time around.
