ASAP Rocky Dodges Album Questions at Paris Fashion Week, Fans Aren’t Laughing

ASAP Rocky might have been turning heads with his fashion choices in Paris, but when the talk came to his long awaited fourth studio album, Don’t Be Dumb, the Harlem rapper was all set to duck the question with a chuckle. During his rounds this week at Paris Fashion Week, one reporter took the opportunity to pin Rocky down when fans might see his long gestating project. His response? A jokey sidestep that just left fans more hungry and a tad vexed.

“Don’t do me like that. I don’t need you to make me do that now. You about to get me beat up out here. “They on my head because of questions like that,” Rocky joked, clearly aware of the mounting expectation around the release of Don’t Be Dumb. As funny as his response was, others were not laughing. One person on social media wrote, “Ultimately I don’t expect him to say anything at Paris Fashion Week off a random reporter asking him about it, to be fair. But we need answers, and that’s what’s frustrating.” One fan took a harsher approach, stating, “If the album is not on Spotify within the next month, I’ll beat his ass myself.”

Rocky’s silence on when exactly we can expect to hear the album only adds to the intrigue surrounding Don’t Be Dumb, a project that’s been teased for a long time. The rapper has teased snippets, taken unreleased songs for live drives, and hinted that he is working with friends, but no firm date has emerged to mark the occasion. As fans keep pining for answers, Rocky seems to be playing with the suspense. His playful energy and sense of humor may help keep the mood positive, but ignoring the growing pressure on him to deliver is impossible. For now, Rocky would appear more interested in taking over the fashion world than sharing info about his album.
