[2] Shelton does not contribute to the Mob as a musical artist (rap or produce) but handles the creative functions and networks with other individuals for the collective.

[4] While establishing himself, his influences in the rap industry were Sean Combs and Dame Dash, two fellow Harlemites.

Shelton, who had previously been the head of A$AP Rocky's merchandise during his tours,[3] worked with Chandler on the brand.

He stated in an interview with Mass Appeal that much of his influence came from trying on and stealing clothes with his friends while living in Harlem, feeling the fabrics of high-value brands.

On October 8, 2022, citing issues with Bari's discrepancies against several affiliates of the ASAP Mob, attempting to take over the brand for himself and five years of ignoring his sexual assault scandal, VLONE announced that he had been fired from the company.

"[22] She said "no", and then Shelton pulled blankets and exposed her nude body to about 10 other men of ASAP Mob, and he followed her into the bathroom.

She was then allegedly thrown out of the room in the nude with Bari smacking her in the buttocks; she had the hotel manager call the police.
