A$AP Rocky has still not confirmed when he will be dropping his new album, Don't Be Dumb. He initially set a release date back in August 2024, but delayed the project indefinitely at the last minute. He's already dropped several singles for the album including "Highjack," "Tailor Swif," and "Ruby Rosary." Last Thursday, he shared another snippet of new music on which he raps: “Me and these rappers, we nothing alike."
As for the aforementioned assault trial, A$AP Relli accused A$AP Rocky of shooting at him during an altercation in 2021. After a lengthy legal process, a jury found Rocky not guilty on any charges in connection to the incident. “Thank God first. You gotta thank God first. And I really wanna thank to jury for making the right decision," Rocky said outside of the courtroom after the ruling. "I’m just so thankful. This is crazy right now. This whole experience has been crazy for the past four years but I’m thankful nonetheless. We blessed to be here right now, to be a free man talking to y’all. All praise be to God.”
