A$AP Rocky has hinted at a potential run for Mayor of New York City.

During an interview with Esquire magazine, he explained why he believes he is qualified for the position.

“For sure,” he responded when asked about his political future. “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.”

Rocky, also known as Rakim Athelston Mayers, highlighted infrastructure issues in New York City, such as road potholes, increasing train fares, and reduced benefits.

“See pot holes, fix ’em. The rates for the trains, like the train fare just went up to $3 (£2.20), it’s f**king crazy. Inflation is crazy,” he expressed. “SNAP 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.”

Continuing on, Rocky stated, “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 urged the citizens of New York City. “Vote for Rocky.”

Mayor Zohran Mamdani is currently in his first year in office. It remains to be seen if the incumbent will be seeking a second term.
