Some people just want their credit – A$AP Rocky is surely one of them. After the Harlem cat’s latest single, “Multiply” was released, the streets were buzzing due to a certain bar he spit on the track. Taking shots at Hood By Air and Been Trill clothing brands, Rocky says, “HBA s— is weak, you can keep that.” He believes that while people have jacked his style, they haven’t properly sited the source.

Rocky was asked about the shot fired, and pretty much compared his struggle with fashion growing up to the the civil rights movement. Okayyy…

“I’m going to put it to you like this: I can say that I’ve been scrutinized for my fashion since I was about 15-years-old,” Rocky claims. “A lot of people got it easy. I feel like I had to go through the whole Civil Rights Movement just to be comfortable, to make other people comfortable, to be able to wear what they want to wear, and a lot of dudes are just claiming to have it without having to have that sacrifice or suffering through all that kind of s—. We’ve been through that kind of s—. That’s all I can really say about it. It is really miniscule. It’s no real beef.”
