A$AP Ferg ousted from A$AP Mob after crew accuses him of stealing ideas, fans think 'it's an insult' to rapper
There seems to be a trouble in paradise for the New York-based hip-hop collective A$AP Mob. A$AP Bari, who is one of the founding members of the group, has announced that A$AP Ferg is no longer part of the crew after their prominent member A$AP Illz slammed him via his Instagram stories.
Soon after A$AP Illz took to his Instagram to vent his anger against A$AP Ferg, the stories started doing the rounds on the Internet where it is pretty evident that the former clearly has issues with the latter. Whilst dissing the American rapper, A$AP Illz posted the stories on his official Instagram account stating, “That n***a burn out, songs dumb trash mr anthem can’t get right.” A$AP Illz accused the 31-year-old artiste of stealing ideas quoting him as, “N****s be your mans to try to pick your brain & steal not to be loyal and real.”
A$AP Bari, who is also one of the founding members of the collective, further confirmed the news via his official Instagram account. The Hip-Hop entrepreneur stated, “He said what he said. @asvpxillz started ASAP MOB SO [Hail] ASAP Illz.” Continuing his diss for the ‘Plain Jane' rapper, Illz added, “They Been calling me The Golden Child for years now and it’s not for no reason…..I been him. Damn right I ain’t no yes man but you n****s don’t respect that s**t. y’all rather have a n***a who’s not even half way on my level around just cause he a Yes man and do Whatever you want at the snap of your fingers sit goofy.”
Reacting to this news, the hardcore fans of the crew took to Twitter and expressed their opinions on the matter. One user stated, “ASAP bari? Who? He never charted. ASAP Ferg has done more than him!”

“Who the hell are the other people in ASAP Mob anyway? Ferg and Rocky are the only relevant people,” quipped another.

Illz also shared a screenshot of A$AP Ferg of their text message, where Ferg asked his then-crew mates to call him. “Call me, stop playing with me, I don’t even play with u,” to which Illz answered, “N***a u played urself. F**k off my line. F**k is u textin for.” A$AP Mob was formed in 2006 and A$AP Ferg along, with his high school friend A$AP Rocky (who has more hits on the Billboard), joined the collective in 2007.
