A$AP Ferg at Sky2.0

What’s On Nightlife Award-winning super club Sky2.0 is bringing one of rap’s biggest names to the city this weekend, with a headline performance from A$AP Ferg this Saturday. New York native Ferg is probably best known for his massive hit Plain Jane (featuring Nicki Minaj) which features the rapper dropping some bars (OK, words) in Arabic. Wonder if he’ll drop that on the night? We can only say inshallah. Door policy applies.
