A$SAP Rocky holds some controversial viewpoints, and got to share them with the world during an interview this morning on NYC radio morning show “The Breakfast Club”.
The problem started last year with an incendiary interview the rapper gave to Time Out New York magazine in which he refused to take a stand on issues involving politics and race, which led him to be widely criticized on Twitter.
This morning, A$AP Rocky attempted to elaborate on his opinions, but it’s arguable he didn’t do himself any favours when he threw his support behind the controversial #AllLivesMatter movement.

“I just get upset, and what I was really trying to say there was, like, yo, I just, I hate when the bandwagon stuff start,” he explained. “I mean, how come, you know, black lives only matter when a police take ’em, when a police officer takes it? And it should be like, black lives, it should matter when a black life take it. You know what I mean? It should always matter. All lives matter!”
He didn’t exactly strengthen his case when, later in the interview, he proclaimed the innocence of Bill Cosby. “He did so much positive things leading up to one thing, which he was convicted of being innocent for, by the way,” he said of the embattled comedian charged of drugging and raping more than 50 women. “People don’t even speak about that, you get what I’m saying? All you remember is the 56 woman and all that kind of s***.”

It would be tough to make a comment less popular than that one, but somehow he managed it: “Look, I’m not his lawyer, but I do know he’s innocent,” he continued. “In the eyes of the law, they said he’s innocent. You get what I’m saying? So, nobody talks about that. You get what I’m saying? All we know is that he was accused, he allegedly raped however many woman he raped, which, you got, it’s so much issues in the world, you know I’m saying?”
