A$AP Twelvyy Interview with Mass Appeal

Don’t refer to A$AP Twelvyy as just a rapper. There’s way more to him than that. An entrepreneur may be a better term, but that’s probably still an understatement. With plans of evolving his Last Year Being Broke brand into a Fortune 500 company, Twelvyy tells us what’s next for him and the A$AP Mob. We also talked about other important things like Spiderman and basketball. Check it out below and learn why it’s his, mine and hopefully even your last year being broke.

Do you remember the day you had the epiphany like, “This is it, my last year being broke, first year being rich”?

The day I had the epiphany was my last studio session with A$AP Yams. My final studio session with him I made the song “Last Year Being Broke” and it just grew from there.

I’m gonna take control of my friends’ lives, my family”. That’s the motivation. Because I know we could all do better. We could all be our best. No reason why we all can’t be president, the best player, the MVP. I feel like the universe breaks us down and it gives us rules and boundaries that we can’t do this shit. I’m telling you we can do this. This is the last year that you letting somebody tell you bullshit. LYBB stands for numerous things. Last year having boundaries, last year being bullied, last year being blackmailed, last year being blackballed.
