It appears A$AP Mob has lost one of its members. Over the weekend, A$AP Ant declared he left the group via Twitter.
Ant first announced his departure on Friday (January 11) by simply tweeting “Went solo.” After the Twitter post didn’t gain much traction, Ant made a more definitive statement on Saturday (January 12).
“Left the group and went solo,” he wrote.
The timing of Ant’s departure is noteworthy since Yams Day 2019 is quickly approaching. The annual concert honoring the late A$AP Yams is scheduled to take place this Thursday (January 17) at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Like many members of the Mob, Ant’s work has often been overshadowed by the careers of high-profile members such as A$AP Rocky and A$AP Ferg. In 2018, Ant was finally able to release his first solo project, an EP titled The Prelude. It was the first of three projects he ended up dropping over the course of the year.
If Ant’s departure sticks, he’s already laid the groundwork for a new rap moniker. The Baltimore native has been billing himself as YG Addie in addition to A$AP Ant. He’s also been using the YG Addie name as his handle on Twitter and Instagram.

Haha and no one cared. About any of them
straight facts
this dumb guys spend a lot of time claiming to be the best instead of making fucking music, the train has left and nobody gives a flying fuck
Ant man never made no impact anyways
Asap Who?
Busta with Flipmode, Nelly with the St. Lunatics, Rocky with ASAP. When the members realize they are only hypemen for the big name, it’s too late.
ASAP COULDN’T CARE LESS
I heard ASAP Roach took his place.
They had a run with Rocky and then Ferg but too much idling and not enough foot work. Add in these cats wanna be fashion icons and add in lackluster tracks. Did Travis Scott jack his style? WHo knows because its been past the point where it doesnt even fucking matter anymore
Always remember united we stand divided we fall the same people you meet coming up you’ll meet them as you come down don’t believe the hype
Sooo… now he’s just Ant?
