(Photos) WOW: Retchy P Tells Wale He Should Have Died Instead Of A$AP Yams; Exchange Ensues
Upcoming rapper Retchy P had quite the co-sign from A$AP Yams, who we sadly lost a little over a week ago now. Naturally he’s still in mourning…but he’s doing so in quite a different – and unhealthy – way. Taking to Twitter over the weekend, Retchy decided to randomly come for Wale, telling the MMG rapper that he wishes it was him who’d died instead of his friend Yams. Of course, an exchange ensued, but Wale kept it quite mature. Wale’s MMG brother Fat Trel soon stepped in, threatening Retchy to watch out and that he’d be in NYC soon. Hopefully nothing real comes of this. I don’t know HOW I’d react if someone on the web was telling me they wished I’d died…but it certainly would have been a LOT less classy than Wale! Check out the exchange in the gallery. Retchy needs to get it together…
A$AP Yams Honored At New York Memorial Service
A week after his untimely passing, A$AP Yams was laid to rest yesterday evening with a memorial service at Frank E. Campbell Funeral Chapel in New York – the same place many other stars were laid to rest including Biggie, John Lennon, Heath Ledger, Aaliyah and more. The public portion of the service was attended by fans and friends, with some even rocking FUBU jackets, black bandanas and Coogi in Yams’ honor. A$AP Rocky was not at the public gathering, but a private service was held later in the day, where he likely attended along with other members of their collective.
