A$AP Rocky BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
A$AP Rocky’s week has been dominated by headline news on every front. Just days ago he confirmed to GQ and other outlets that his long-delayed fourth studio album “Don’t Be Dumb” is officially finished and ready for release, though he purposely refuses to set a release date to avoid disappointing fans after multiple delays. Rocky described the album as his best work so far and its anticipation only grew with confirmed high-profile features from artists like Pharrell Williams, Madlib, Metro Boomin, Mike Dean, Dean Blunt, and The Alchemist. Tracks already previewed include “Highjack” with Jessica Pratt, “Ruby Rosary” with J. Cole, “Tailor Swif,” and “Pray4DaGang” featuring KayCyy. Rocky emphasized that delays—originally due to sample clearances and leaks after its Paris Fashion Week announcement in 2024—were “frustrating but necessary” to get the quality right according to his Billboard cover story.
Beyond music, Hollywood is buzzing about his performance in Spike Lee’s new film “Highest 2 Lowest,” released August 15, 2025. According to The Source and echoed by Variety’s Oscars Prediction List, Rocky’s role as Yung Felon alongside Denzel Washington has sparked real Oscar nomination talk for Best Supporting Actor. Spike Lee himself praised Rocky’s intense on-screen chemistry with Washington on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, highlighting their “father-son” vibe and warning everyone not to underestimate Rocky’s crossover potential. On the acting front, Rocky also starred as James in the psychological comedy-drama “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You,” which is attracting a cult following.
On the business side, Rocky continues his push beyond music. He remains active with his whisky brand Mercer + Prince, which he launched in 2022, and his recent fashion collaborations with Gucci, Puma, and Bottega Veneta keep his footprint large in both hip hop and style spheres. Financial sites like NetWorthUnfold peg his current net worth at $20 million, with his fashion and business activities playing a major role in maintaining and growing that figure.
Live, A$AP Rocky played a major show at Domaine National de Saint-Cloud in France August 21 and is prominently featured on the lineup for Tyler, the Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw 2025, set for Dodger Stadium this November—an event that sold out immediately and is expected to showcase material from the new album and collaborations with festival mainstays.
Personal life has made the front pages as well, after Rihanna gave birth to their third child, a girl, on August 18. The couple, already parents to Riot Rose Myers and a first child with Rihanna born in 2022, continue to attract social media attention for their family and style. Recent viral moments include red carpet appearances and candid family photos circulating across Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok, and fans speculating about the new baby’s name that remains closely guarded.
Finally, Rocky’s years-long legal battle related to a 2022 shooting incident has come to a close with his recent acquittal, a resolution that drew significant media coverage and could mark a turning point in how the industry and his fan base perceive him in the years ahead.
