A$AP Rocky announces delay of “Don’t Be Dumb” album
A$AP Rocky’s highly anticipated sixth studio album, Don’t Be Dumb, has been delayed once again, much to the disappointment of fans eagerly awaiting its release. Initially set for August 30, the album’s release has been pushed back due to complications with sample clearances and unauthorized leaks, as revealed by Rocky himself on Twitter/X.
The rapper, whose last album, Testing, dropped in May 2018, has faced a challenging journey to perfect Don’t Be Dumb. Testing made waves with its eclectic mix of collaborations, featuring big names like Frank Ocean, T.I., and Kid Cudi, and debuted at number four on the Billboard 200, eventually earning gold certification in the US.
Meanwhile, as Rocky navigates these delays, he’s also embraced significant personal milestones. Over the past two years, he and his partner, Rihanna, have expanded their family, welcoming two children since 2022. The couple, who began dating in late 2020, have been balancing their personal and professional lives while navigating these exciting changes.
Despite the wait, Rocky’s commitment to delivering an exceptional album remains unwavering. Fans can look forward to a project that reflects both his growth as an artist and his evolving personal life. Keep an eye out for further updates on Don’t Be Dumb and prepare for what promises to be a landmark release in Rocky’s career.
