A$AP Rocky has been teasing his newest release in six years, DON’T BE DUMB, for months. According to a reveal at his Paris Fashion Week show, the album was originally supposed to drop on “August 30th,” but it was delayed once again due to “leaks and sample clearances” eight days before its debut.
The album was then set to come out in the fall of 2024. However, the rapper’s latest moves are making fans believe that they are more likely to hear new music from Rihanna.
Preorder refunds are frustrating fans
Starting the weekend of November 1, those who preordered the vinyl versions of the upcoming album began receiving refunds to their email accounts.
Rocky has been getting fans’ hopes up and crashing them down for months since he first “officially announced” the album, so they are understandably pissed online.
Nevertheless, he told Complex in September that the delay gave him more time to get into his creative bag and sharpen up the project.
“I’m a perfectionist and I think sometimes that’s my own worst enemy. I like to keep revising and editing, pushing things to the limit. I want to explore every option and every possibility. I want to assure that all of my fans will be fulfilled when they get this music,” he told the publication.
Regardless of A$AP Rocky’s reassurances, these recent refunds and (still) no official release date have got his fanbase having a big “F**kin’ Proble`m” with the Harlem native.
