In recent news, A$AP Rocky’s highly anticipated album, “Don’t Be Dumb,” has encountered a significant hurdle, with only 6,000 pre-orders recorded before they were unexpectedly canceled. This information comes from Shopify backend data reported by Kurrco, raising questions about the album’s release strategy.
Despite the setback, Rocky has confirmed that the long-awaited album is now set to drop on January 16, 2026. The announcement was made during his performance at Camp Flog Gnaw last month, much to the excitement of fans eager for new music.
Social media has been buzzing with speculation regarding the album’s pre-order numbers, with some fans suggesting that Rocky may have delayed the release to avoid a potential flop. One user expressed their thoughts on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “U can’t unscrew the pooch. Bros album flopping is inevitable so just keep it brochacho,” while another warned of a “Flop of the century incoming!”
In a previous interview with Elle, Rocky addressed the reasons for the delay, mentioning that personal life events played a significant role. “I don’t want to primarily blame it on my case, but life was lifeing,” he explained. He emphasized the importance of being present for his family, particularly after welcoming their third child with Rihanna in September. The rapper also reflected on the adjustments that come with fatherhood, stating, “When it happens, you gotta adjust and move with it.”
As for his relationship with Rihanna, the couple continues to navigate their lives together, with Rocky affectionately referring to himself as Rihanna’s husband during a recent interview. Although it’s unclear if they have officially tied the knot, Rocky expressed that his family brings him immense joy. “I think peace really makes me happy. Being a father and a partner and a loving husband in my family is what makes me really, really happy,” he said.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the arrival of “Don’t Be Dumb,” and we’ll keep you updated on any further developments.
