A$AP Rocky is known to always be ahead of the
curve when it comes to fashion. Whether the rapper is
rocking designer gear way before anyone else, ditching
brands before they get too hot, or talking
about how style chooses you while making a Harry Potter reference,
Rocky is an innovator. But during
his CRWN interview with Elliott Wilson, he credited Kanye
West with being a huge style influence.
"I think that Kanye had a rough time in the fashion
industry and I think it's all starting to pay off," Rocky told Wilson. "I
mean, he paved the way for artists like ourselves. I wouldn't be here. I would
be full of s*** if I didn't tell you when I was sixteen I was inspired by Kanye
West. You know what I'm saying, I would be lying."
Yeezus has influenced unmeasurable amounts of people with
his style, including
the entire Kardashian set. So, there's no shame in Rocky admitting he was
also affected.
Rocky goes on to talk about where he got his sense of style.
"I think a lot has to do with the fact that I traveled. I lived in a lot
of places as a child—Harlem, Bronx, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, then Harlem
again," he said. "I'm from Manhattan. I'm from Harlem, which is a
portion of Manhattan. Culture and fashion, we're the Mecca of it at the end of
the day."
