RadioOnFire.com - 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.
One wall of the understated chapel was lined with flower arrangements, including a large white rose heart that was inscribed with “YAMS.” A variety of A$AP Mob gear from over the years, including a grey A$AP hoodie and a Yankees-style grey-pinstripe Yamborghini Records jersey, hung in a nook on the other side of the room. The black lacquered casket was adorned by a bloom of dark red roses, and framed by a Tumblr art-inspired, purple-tinged picture of Yams riding a white unicorn on the left and an oversized Coogi sweater that hung to the right. A slideshow of photos from Yams’ life—a child-aged Yams dressed as a pumpkin for Halloween, a RIAA plaque of A$AP Rocky’s Long.Live.ASAP—looped on a small screen behind.
RIP, A$AP Yams.
