A couple days ago, AWGE released the third installment their web docuseries AWGE DVD, chronicling behind the scenes moments with A$AP Rocky, the and AWGE-affiliated artists and friends. At one particular point the video, around the 15 minute mark, there was talking pretty wildly about NYC newcomer , saying Tekashi’s “Gummo” video was some the most depressing shit he's ever seen.
"Why is everyone acting like this new? This is a version the same old shit. This is the most depressing shit I've ever seen in my life," Yasiin Bey said in the clip. However it turns out that clip was taken out context and not necessarily what Yasiin meant.
On late Thursday night, AWGE and Yasiin released a statement explaining that the footage was “leaked” and “taken out context.” Their statement read:
The statement ended with… “STOP CLOUT WARS.LOVE ALL.TRUST FEW.FEAR NONE.PEACE.”
