, many brought up his past comments regarding the Black Lives Matter movement as the reason why they didn’t sympathize with his plight. In a 2015 interview with Time Out New York, Rocky controversially said: “Why would I feel compelled to rap about Ferguson? I’m not about to say that I was down there throwing rocks at motherfuckers, getting pepper-sprayed. I’d be lying. Is it because I’m black? What the fuck, 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 motherfuckin’ lean, my best friend dying, girls, my jiggy fashion and my inspirations in drugs. I live in fucking Soho and Beverly Hills. I can’t relate.” 

, but since people are still holding the above comment against him, he rehashed it on Kerwin Frost’s YouTube series, “Kerwin Frost Talks”. “I thought I addressed that in the past and to be in jail hearing people still trying to stir up some weird shit,” Rocky said around the 53-minute mark. “What I will say though is in those old interviews I used to say ‘I think it’s inappropriate for me to rap about things I didn’t help with. I felt like when it came to Ferguson, went down there and he actually was on the news and he helped. I felt like he deserved to rap about it. So when someone ask me that in 2015 I’m like: ‘I just feel, personally, if I’m in SoHo or I’m here I can’t even talk on that’… That’s appropriating. … It’s not sincere. It’s pretentious.”

During his conversation with Frost, Rocky also expressed support for  who has been accused ***ual assault by many women. “I heard people doing some real fucked up shit. I can say that Connor] gets picked on more than people think. A lot it is cyberbullying,” Rocky said.
