A$AP Rocky Reveals Denzel Washington's Listening Habits
A$AP Rocky has revealed that Denzel Washington is a much bigger fan of contemporary Hip Hop than many may think.
In an interview with The Run Through with Vogue, Rocky revealed what Washington was listening to on the set of Spike Lee film Highest 2 Lowest.
He said: “Denzel would pull up to the movie set playing Pooh Shiesty and Moneybagg Yo, swear to God. Can’t make this up.”
Rocky added: “He likes to listen to Memphis rappers, but modern Memphis rappers. Then he started quoting NLE Choppa. I’m like, ‘You know NLE Choppa?!’ He like, ‘I don’t do drive-bys now, walk ’em down.’ I’m like, ‘Yo, Denzel, chill!’ It was crazy, he’s really tapped in, man.”
Highest 2 Lowest features Rocky in his biggest acting role to date as he stars opposite the 70-year-old acting legend as well as Ice Spice, Jeffrey Wright and Ilfenesh Hadera.

“A$AP, man, he fire. I mean there’s some scenes with him and D where he’s not backing up.”
