A$AP Rocky has been on the move and collecting new achievements like infinity stones. He was named the creative director of Ray-Bans in February and just dropped a new campaign to celebrate his “Blacked-Out Collection.” He pulled up with his now-pregnant partner Rihanna at the Met Gala in May and served as one of the co-chairs. He also presented his second AWGE collection titled “Obligatory Fashion” at Paris Fashion Week with unreleased tracks from DON’T BE DUMB blasting throughout the show. However, if you’re still waiting on that new album, you might want to grab a snack. And a chair.
Rocky might have a baby girl OTW — but not the album
While attending The Smurfs premiere with Rihanna, Rocky subtly hinted that baby number three might be a girl, adding another layer of pink to the Fenty family dynasty. Rihanna, meanwhile. kept her lips sealed about the baby’s gender.
No official due date has been shared, but insiders (and Instagram comments) are circling November. Which brings us to the question every fan is quietly asking: what happens to the album now?
Back when Rihanna gave birth to their first child, RZA, in May 2022, Rocky dropped the single “D.M.B.” that same month, but provided no other updates. Then, the singer gave birth to their second child, Riot, in August 2023. A month before in July, Rocky dropped the track “RIOT (Rowdy Pipe’n)” and in an interview with Complex, blamed album delays on leaks. Nevertheless, people weren’t buying it.
To be fair, Rocky has had his hands full — literally. Two kids under three and a partner building billion-dollar brands while casually redefining fashion? The man’s been in dad mode. There’s footage of him holding umbrellas, baby bottles, and the kids all at once.
Now, with baby number three allegedly on the way and due before the year’s out, the pattern is repeating itself like a looped Metro Boomin tag. The potential gender reveal might’ve been sweet, but fans want to know if the album is going back in the vault. Again.
Rocky hasn’t flat-out said it, of course. He’s still showing face and DON’T BE DUMB is allegedly mixed, mastered, and “coming soon.” The rollout, though, has gotten quieter than a midnight bottle feed.
So while we celebrate the expanding A$AP x Fenty empire (truly, a genetically blessed boardroom), let’s also hope that if there’s a baby coming in November…that there’s an album announcement, too.
