After he opened up with unreleased protest songs “Fuck 12” and “No ID,” A$AP proudly declared that this was his very first time performing in New York. His outfit paled in comparison to the accompanying video playing in the background, which depicted erratic flashes of test images and hallucogenic warning signs in addition to political propaganda that garnered trigger warnings for flashing images. When A$AP finally decided to show his face, he emerged clad in his signature American flag, a white balaclava, and an array of crossed out swastikas and confederate flags on his hoodie sleeve.
The introduction was made even more confusing by the background of fireworks which some fans mistook for A$AP’s entry, but in fact originated from the adjacent Grubhub stage which J Balvin was closing out.īut that was only the beginning of what turned out to be an even stranger sequence of events. Seconds later, a mosh pit swarmed around A$AP, so a brigade of security guards had to escort him back to the stage to start the show. Unbeknownst to the anticipating fans, he and his crew, A$AP gang, secretly infiltrated the photo pit wearing ski masks moments prior to the show, which caused the confused festival goers to think there were terrorists among them. After the sun went down on Saturday at the Governors Ball music festival, headliner A$AP Rocky emerged from the crowd half an hour after his call time.
