We are sad to report that a member of the popular A$AP Mob has passed away.

A$AP Bari broke the news that A$AP Yams, one of the co-founders of the music group, has passed away, but so far, there are no details behind the cause or time of his death.

According to MissInfo, Yams, also known by his real name Steven Rodriguez, was a heavy user of codeine and xanax, as the site reports:

He did, however, spend a brief stint in rehab last summer in an effort to curb his drug addiction. “That lean shit corny now i apologize for even glorifying that bullshit its embarrassing it destroyed too many lives,” he wrote on Twitter in July. “Its disrespectful to the families who lost loved ones to that demon for us to be flaunting that addiction rip pimp c.”

Also, Yams’ last tweet from yesterday morning was about codeine:

A$AP Rocky responded to the sad news by posting a photo to his Instagram, along with the caption:

R.I.P YAMS, I LOVE YOU BROTHER

A$AP Ferg also shared a more lengthy tribute:

You were the brilliant mind ,you put us on Game , you changed our lives. You changed my life , you changed the world. R.i.P YAMZ there can never be another one after you . #asapworldwide #asapferg #yamborgini #yamz

Some celebrities such as Drake, Mac Miller, Azealia Banks, and more reacted to the tragic news:

We send our condolences to A$AP Yams’ loved ones, as well as the A$AP Mob family, during this tough time.
