A$AP Rocky Finally Releasing 'Don't Be Dumb' Album Later This Month

A$AP Rocky is kicking off 2026 with a bang — with the pending release of his first album in eight years!!!

On Monday, Rocky confirmed his long-awaited “Don’t Be Dumb” album would drop on Jan. 16 … the same album he was supposed to drop before 3 kids, 2 criminal trials, and 1 romance with Rihanna entered the picture!!!

Remember our viral interview where he was giving us the “runaround” while discussing the album finishing touches? That was over 2 years ago!!!

For his first trick, the Harlem rapper co-directed “Punk Rocky” alongside filmmakers Folkert Verdoorn and Simon Becks … recruiting the talents of Winona Ryder, Danny Elfman, Thundercat, and A$AP Nast to all star in the video!!!

The video looks straight outta the Edward Scissorhands’ universe, and Rocky stars as himself and one of his alter-egos, a character named “GR1M” in the zany clip.

In one scene, Rocky also captures himself shooting a gun in the middle of the street, but unlike his winning case against ex-friend, A$AP Relli, he won’t be seeing a courtroom for pulling the trigger.
