Ferg says dropping A$AP from his name was about growth

Ferg said dropping A$AP from his stage name came down to growth. On Complex's In Motion With Ashley Nicole Moss, reported by Billboard on 28 September 2026, he said he had to follow his truth and stand as his own man. He answered A$AP Rocky, who told Apple Music's Ebro the change bothered him but he wished Ferg the best.
