FKA twigs has deep connections with ASAP Mob.
During her early music career, the English artist lived with ASAP Mob co-founder ASAP Yams and frontman ASAP Rocky. She opened up about this during a recent i-D conversation with Playboi Carti, whom she first met when he was younger.
“When I was coming up with Rocky, he always used to tell me, ‘Yo, Twigs is the one. I got to introduce you to Twigs,'” Carti remembered. “And when I met you, everything he said about you was true. Shorty from the other side of the world. She got me off the bat.”
“You’re so sweet. You always had it,” Twigs responded before revealing her living arrangement with the ASAP Mob members. “You know Rocky and I used to live together? I think it was 2012 or 2013. I used to live with ASAP Yams and Rocky in LA, and we had an apartment together.”
Twigs explained how she looked after them, noting she’d cook for the duo after seeing they rarely used the kitchen.
“They would never eat,” she said. “They were boys—they would never be able to cook for themselves. So they’d come back from the studio.”
“Coming in, got the munchies. Twigs over there going crazy,” Carti added. “I’ve never met Yams a day in my life. I always just hear so many cool stories. You and Rocky and Yams in the crib? That’s fire.”
Twigs described the late Yams as “such a gentleman” and highlighted his thoughtfulness.
“He’d always let me sleep in his room,” she shared. “He’d sleep on the sofa, and I would take his bed.”
“We got to treat you like an angel,” Carti replied.
