A$AP Rocky Loses over 100,000 Followers Due to Instagram Artwork

It massive piece was created in collaboration with Robert Gallardo, a member of the rapper’s new internal creative team AWGE, and featured works by artists Daniel Arsham and Tan Camera. It was described by Gallardo as the “modern day fine art, just delivered to you differently because of the times we live in.” Despite its uniqueness, some of Rocky’s followers on the social networking service failed to appreciate it and were bothered with the blank images that made it seem like the ‘Gram was going crazy. Ultimately, the mural costed Rocky over 100,000 followers and since he keeps adding segments we are sure many more will unfollow him, too.
