FERG has made a good amount of money during his time in the spotlight, and as a result has discovered that being around other rich people is “boring.”
While making his rounds to promote his new album Darold, the rapper formerly known as A$AP Ferg stopped by The Zach Sang Show and got into his views on money.

“After you make money and you get rich and all of that shit, right – like what really matters after that?” he said. “It’s boring being around mad rich people. That shit is wack, not even gonna lie. Whatever they advertise and all that, shit is trash.”
He added: “They’re sauceless. That’s why I feel like a lot of rich people buy art and clothes and shit, because you can buy into somebody’s sauce.”

He also noted that though he hasn’t ever lost his sauce, there were times he felt he may have been coming close, but he realized he simply had to “grow.”

On the title track of Darold – which was released Friday (November 8) – FERG proclaimed that he belongs in the upper echelon of rappers in the game today alongside the likes of Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole.
“Who the top rappers, hmm?/ Kendrick, J. Cole, any list, I’m on that,” he raps over airy, ominous production from Kash Beats, Powers Pleasant, Tweek Tune and Manny Laurenko.

Elsewhere on the song, FERG namedrops a number of other rap legends while revealing his biggest influences: “I’m a bit of Busta, Common, Hova, Dark Man X, put ’em all in a bag.”
The album also features the Future-assisted “Allure,” which finds the duo trading bars over a Mike WiLL Made-It beat built around haunting synths and trap drums.

During his guest verse, Hendrix warns an unnamed enemy: “You took a plea on my slime, won’t be surprised you ended up dead.”
Fans were quick to connect the lyrics to Gunna, who controversially accepted an Alford plea in his and Young Thug‘s YSL RICO case.
“Future Dissing Gunna on his new Feature?” one listener wrote on X, while another joked: “Future old ass not letting up on Gunna.”
A third user chimed in: “Future still on Gunna neck cuz yall keep tryna overlook it so he keep reminding yall what happened.”

The apparent shot is just the latest from Future, who began jabbing Gunna earlier this year when he deleted a social media post promoting the rapper’s “Prada Dem” single with Offset.
