Roomies, A$AP Rocky has the internet talking again after a recent tour stop sparked a wave of reactions onlineand this time, he used the moment to directly respond to the ongoing chatter surrounding him. The Harlem rapper paused during his ‘Dont Be Dumb’ tour performance to address several rumors and narratives that have followed him throughout his rollout, making it clear he was ready to set the record straight.
During the show, Rocky called out critics over a string of viral topics that have circulated online in recent weeks. He pushed back on claims about his wardrobe, ticket sales, and personal life, telling the crowd he feels frustrated with the constant speculation surrounding him. “Fuck the internet,” Rocky told the audience. “First they was saying n***a was wearing thongs, then they was saying n***as show wasn’t selling out, nobody wasn’t coming, then they saying I’m disrespectful to my wife. Suck my d**k, n***a.“
Now, A$AP Rocky had the internet in a frenzy after a viral clip from his tour sparked wild speculation about what fans thought they saw on stage. The conversation quickly spiraled online, but Rocky and his creative agency AWGE wasted no time flipping the narrative right back on everyone.
After the footage began circulating, showing what some users believed was a fashion choice involving thong underwear, AWGE stepped in with a sharp response and turned the moment into a marketing play instead. The label teased its own branded line of thongs while shutting down the rumors, writing, Dont be dumb you played yaself, and adding that what people saw was simply a mic pack. In true Rocky fashion, he and his team flip the situation back onto the internet, spark debate among fans, and reject claims of confusion.
