AceShowbiz - A$AP Rocky's album "Don't Be Dumb" has become an enigma for his fans, who have been eagerly awaiting its release despite numerous singles, announcements and promises. However, recent reports have dampened hopes, with fans now questioning if the project will ever see the light of day.
According to @99Vinyl_ on Twitter, Rocky and his team have refunded pre-orders for the vinyl edition of the album. This move has been interpreted as a sign that the album is indefinitely on hold.
Fans have reacted with a mix of humor, frustration and resignation. While some have joked about their desperation, others have criticized the rollout, accusing Rocky of misleading his fanbase. Some have even revived narratives of a rap feud with Drake, suggesting it is influencing the album's release.
The reasons for the album's delay remain unknown. Potential factors include sample clearance issues, label scheduling conflicts, and the need for additional rollout elements such as live performances. However, the ongoing assault case against Rocky involving A$AP Relli may also be a contributing factor.
Meanwhile, fans have drawn parallels between Rocky's delays and Rihanna's own unreleased album. They speculate that if both artists were to release their projects simultaneously, it would alleviate the frustration.
