UPDATE: In a highly anticipated announcement, ASAP Rocky has confirmed that his new album, titled Don’t Be Dumb, will officially release on January 16, 2026. The news comes after years of delays, with fans eager for fresh content since the project was first mentioned in 2022.
This latest development marks a significant moment for the artist, who aims to redefine modern fatherhood. Rocky has expressed a desire to “make being a dad cool again,” a sentiment echoed by renowned filmmaker Tim Burton, who collaborated on the album’s cover art. Burton stated, “I loved working with an artist like Rocky — it was a great collaboration. He spoke to me about his alter egos and I just drew my interpretations of them.”
The collaboration with Burton adds an exciting visual element to the project, promising fans a unique artistic experience. Rocky revealed the cover art on his Instagram account last week, generating buzz among his followers and music enthusiasts alike.
After a series of release date changes—from a summer 2024 launch to a tentative fall date—fans are now counting down the days until the album finally arrives. The prolonged wait has only intensified excitement, as Rocky previously shared his album with Burton, who responded enthusiastically, stating, “I didn’t know you made that kind of music!”
This announcement comes on the heels of a personal milestone for Rocky and his partner, Rihanna, who recently welcomed their third child, Rocki. Their growing family further fuels Rocky’s commitment to his message of fatherhood, making this album not just a musical endeavor but a personal journey as well.
As the clock ticks down to January 16, fans are urged to stay tuned for more updates. The music scene is about to shift as ASAP Rocky prepares to deliver what could be his most impactful work yet. This is a moment not just for music lovers but for anyone invested in the evolving narrative of modern parenting and artistry.
Be sure to share this exciting news as we await the release of Don’t Be Dumb—an album poised to resonate with many. The countdown has officially begun!
