This is definitely not the news I wanted to wake up to.

Steven Rodriguez, also known as A$AP Yams, has tragically passed away this morning. Known for his hilarious non sequiturs, birthmark and trademark business savvy, Rodriguez was pivotal in the creation and foundation of the A$AP Mob, as well as guide the careers and current success of both A$AP Rocky and A$AP Ferg.

The news was first confirmed on the A$AP Mob’s Twitter account.

RIP @ASAPYams
