A$AP Rocky Shuts Down Young Thug Collab Rumors as Fans Still Wait on ‘Don’t Be Dumb’ Album

A$AP Rocky remains one of the most influential names in hip-hop, even though it’s been years since he last dropped a full-length project. His last album, Testing, was released back in 2018, and while he’s delivered a handful of singles since, fans have been anxiously awaiting his next full body of work. That highly-anticipated project is Don’t Be Dumb, which was originally slated for release in August 2024. However, delays have left fans in the dark with little to no updates — until now.

On Tuesday, social media buzzed with speculation about a possible joint project between A$AP Rocky and Young Thug. A member of the A$AP Mob hinted that the two rappers might be working on a collaborative tape, causing confusion and raising eyebrows among fans. While Rocky and Thugger are known to be friendly and have previously shared good chemistry on tracks, many questioned the timing of such a collaboration — especially since Rocky still hasn’t dropped Don’t Be Dumb and Young Thug is currently promoting his own album, UY SCUTI.

Fortunately, Rocky stepped in to set the record straight. Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, he responded directly to the rumors with a clear message: “FALSE MY BROTHER, UY SCUTI OTW.” With this post, he confirmed that there is no upcoming collab tape and that Thugger is instead focused on releasing his own solo effort.

While Rocky’s statement cleared the air, it also brought fans back to the central issue: Don’t Be Dumb is still nowhere to be found. After months of silence, some fans have begun to lose hope. It’s not a question of talent — Rocky remains a major figure in the culture — but the constant waiting has left even die-hard supporters feeling unsure about when, or if, the project will ever see the light of day.

Outside of music, Rocky has had plenty on his plate. He’s been raising two young children with Rihanna and recently confirmed that a third baby is on the way. With family life taking center stage, it’s understandable that music may not be his top priority right now. Still, that hasn’t stopped fans from hoping.

As the summer approaches, many are still clinging to the possibility that Don’t Be Dumb will finally arrive. And given the brief buzz around Young Thug, fans are now speculating whether he could still land a feature on the long-awaited album. For now, Rocky’s core supporters remain on standby, ready to press play whenever he decides to deliver.
