A$AP Rocky’s “Don’t Be Dumb” Only Had 6K Pre-Orders Last Year

A$AP Rocky’s upcoming album, Don’t Be Dumb, only had about 6,000 pre-orders before they were canceled back in 2024, according to Shopify backend data obtained by Kurrco. The report comes after Rocky finally shared another release date for the long-awaited project while performing at Camp Flog Gnaw, last month. Fans will finally be able to hear the new music on January 16, 2026.

In response to the report, fans on social media have been theorizing that Rocky postponed his project to avoid flopping. "U cant unscrew the pooch. Bros album flopping is inevitable so just keep it brochacho," one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Another wrote: "Flop of the century incoming!"

Back in September, Rocky said that the reason for the delay was due to his personal life. “I don’t want to primarily blame it on my case, but life was lifeing,” he told Elle. “We don’t plan on having children, but when it happens, you gotta adjust and move with it. I gotta be present for my family, because that’s first.” At the time, Rocky was being accused of allegedly shooting his former friend, ASAP Relli, back in 2022. A jury eventually found him not guilty.

Better do a bootleg ass collab album with Rihanna and call it a day even though it will suck

 

[Cool DOC]

I enjoyed the last 2 Rocky albums, I feel Dumb waiting so long for this one.

He might as well go the Cam route & just put out singles here & there.

Like somebody here said, he ain't really pressed for music output.

That boy in Hollywood making movies with Denzel and having babies with Rihanna he don’t need music

 

[SpacelySprockets]

bro wakes up next to rihanna everyday and doesnt realize all he needs to do is put her on 2 or 3 tracks and his album will sell

He don't need music but he's not A list as a celebrity overall, he's basically my generation's common. But tbh he'd probably sell more if he made a really abstract album that wasn't rap.

 

[T-K-G]

He was the first young rapper to go on paternity leave he get's a pass simply because this was uncharted territory


All them other nikkas would take a fall off if it meant having kids with a billionaire baddie
