Summary
- A possible album release date of January 16, 2026, was hinted at.

- Fans are divided on whether this is a genuine clue or a prank.
A cryptic clue from A$AP Rocky's recent performance has sent fans into a frenzy, speculating about the long-awaited release of his album, 'Don't Be Dumb.' During his set at Camp Flog Gnaw on Sunday, Rocky sported a hoodie with the numbers "01162026" printed on the sleeve, leading many to believe January 16, 2026, is the new target date. This potential announcement comes after numerous delays, fueling both excitement and skepticism among his fanbase.
The interpretation of this sleeve message is divided. Some fans see it as a clear indicator of a release date, especially since it falls on a Friday. However, a portion of the audience points out that January 16th is National Nothing Day, suggesting Rocky might be engaging in his characteristic humor or a deliberate troll. This uncertainty reflects the album's troubled release history, leaving many hesitant to mark their calendars definitively.
Despite the ambiguity surrounding the hoodie clue, A$AP Rocky himself mentioned in a recent interview that his album is still anticipated for release in 2025. He revealed that acclaimed composer Danny Elfman contributed to the project. Rocky's last album, 'TESTING,' was released in 2018, making the anticipation for 'Don't Be Dumb' particularly high after a significant hiatus.
