<\/p>\n

A$AP Rocky<\/strong> is the lucky recipient of the Virgil Abloh<\/strong> Award …  a full circle moment considering the late fashion designer was one of the first to respect the rapper’s style.<\/p>\n

TMZ Hip Hop obtained footage of Rocky’s acceptance speech during the HFR 16th Annual Fashion Show & Style Awards Tuesday night inside the famed Apollo Theater Harlem. Rocky  immediately turned the spotlight back on Virgil Abloh.<\/p>\n

Rocky says several years back, he and his A$AP Mob crew were too young to get inside a club but Virgil still knew who they were, which instantly validated his swag.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fast forward a year later, Rocky says his raps had taken off and he soon recruited Virgil to be the creative director behind his 2013 debut album “LONG.LIVE.A$AP” and the inner workings of the tour that followed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Rocky told the crowd Virgil’s fearlessness pioneered his own trendsetting into the fashion world and spouted off a few inspirational bars for the city of Harlem … a noble gesture, seeing the night’s theme was “Remix!!!”<\/p>\n

\"Virgil<\/p>\n

The “Praise The Lord” rapper didn’t spend too much time hogging the podium … his bladder was full and duty called, so you know how the equation goes.<\/p>\n

Virgil passed away<\/strong> in November 2021 after a quiet bout with cancer — immediately crushing countless rap stars and celebs … but his legacy apparently lives on if Rocky is receiving honors in his likeness!!!<\/p>\n
