Detailing why he considers himself fit for office, during his recent interview with Esquire magazine, A$AP Rocky teased about making a run at the New York City mayor’s office.
When asked if politics could be in his future, the superstar rapper replied “For sure.” “I think so, there are a lot of political affairs that need to be addressed, changes that need to be made. I think that I would really do well because I’m a guy that’s for the people.”
Born Rakim Athelston Mayers, the multi-Grammy award winner mentioned infrastructure issues throughout NYC, such as potholes in the roads, train fares going up, and benefits being reduced, adding:
“See pot holes, fix ’em. The rates for the trains, like the train fare just went up to $3.00 it’s f**king crazy. Inflation is crazy.””SNAP (the US federal nutrition assistance programme, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programme, which is designed to help low-income individuals and families purchase nutritious food) and welfare and food stamps and all of these benefits is f**ked up because that’s where I derive from. Creating more job opportunities, create better health care.” “These are some of the things that most politicians come in promising, but for the most part, a lot of the decisions made by politicians have ulterior motives, and it’s really self-beneficial. For me, I make a really great living off being myself.” “2029 vote for Mayor Mayers,” he implored New York City citizens. “Vote for Rocky.”
Mayor Zohran Mamdani is presently serving his first year in office and it remains to be seen if the incumbent will be seeking a second term.
