Just a little over two months since his passing on January 18, A$AP Yams’ cause of death has been announced.
After initially being ruled as a possible drug overdose, various members of the A$AP Mob, including A$AP Ant and later A$AP Rocky, came out to denounce claims that Yams’ death was caused by drugs.
However, Jon Caramanica of the New York Times tweeted yesterday (March 19), that the Chief Medical Examiner has ruled Yams’ death an “accident caused by acute mixed drug intoxication (incl. opiates & benzodiazepine).”
A$AP Yams, whose given name is Steven Rodriguez, died at the age of 26 after being found unconscious and unresponsive at his Brooklyn apartment early in the early hours of January 18. He was then transported to Brooklyn’s Woodhull Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

ASAP Ant Says ASAP Yams Didn’t Die From Drug Overdose:
“It seems like the death of ASAP Yams has hit the Hip Hop community hard today. Many are still sending their condolences to friends and family, while more news come out about the death of the ASAP Mob Founder. Many are still asking how Yams died, an allegations of a drug overdose were rumored. However, ASAP Ant denies that notion.”
“This morning, DJ Vlad got in contact with Ant via phone and had a discussion about the drug overdose allegations. The ASAP member shut that rumor down quickly. Ant also spoke out about the photos of ASAP Rocky at the hospital where Yams died.”

Aren’t y’all afraid of messing with your body’s chemistry — death is a real thing and the only people messing with themselves like that are people that think they are bulletproof. Once you taste the very edge of death and you’re lucky enough to come back, you never want to mess with that again unless you truly are helpless. It’s the addicts that do quit only quit after they almost freaking die. That’s what it takes and even that don’t get sense into these niggas head a lot of times.
And this somehow a surprise? Some random no talent idiot dies from pills, a true product of his own stupidity. There are more important things to worry about then idiots like this kid.
