A$AP Rocky has just released his new album, Don’t Be Dumb, which has already stirred the pot in the hip-hop community. Notably, it features a track that appears to take aim at fellow artist Drake.
Quick context
In the song “Stole Ya Flow,” Rocky seems to reference a longstanding controversy, claiming:
“First you stole my flow, so I stole yo bitch.”
This direct confrontation aligns with criticisms that Drake has faced over the years regarding his originality and artistry. In an interview on the NYT Popcast podcast, Rocky was asked about speculation surrounding his lyrics aimed at Drake. His response was somewhat ambiguous yet pointed: “I think we all know.”
Rocky on their fractured friendship
When discussing the breakdown of their once-friendly relationship, Rocky expressed uncertainty, stating:
“I don’t know, I just started just seeing people who started out as friends become foes.”
He continued, suggesting that misunderstandings and jealousy might have contributed to their conflict, but clarified, “it really ain’t smoke.” When asked if he would consider reconciling, he was dismissive, stating:
“Nah, it don’t even need to be. For what?”
Album’s commercial potential
As for the album’s potential success on the charts, Rocky downplayed its importance to him, explaining that his fame stems from multiple avenues, not just music. “I enjoy being famous,” he mentioned, highlighting that his musical endeavors aren’t necessarily his only source of celebrity. His fashion sense has garnered attention for years, making him a prominent figure in the style world.
Fashion and personal life highlights
Rocky’s appearance at his album release party included a stylish showcase of his trendsetting fashion, especially notable for his quarter zip jumper style. This was evident as he attended the event in New York City, where he was joined by Rihanna, who has played a significant role in his life.
During the podcast interview, Rocky shared a cute anecdote about how his mother had wished for him to be with Rihanna long before their relationship blossomed. He also spoke about the valuable insights she offers him regarding friendships, emphasizing how a partner can significantly impact one’s perspective:
“A woman will change your whole life, especially if it’s a companion. Being with my girl took a blindfold off.”
As he gears up for his musical guest appearance on Saturday Night Live, hosted by Finn Wolfhard, fans are eagerly anticipating more of Rocky’s unique flair and style in the upcoming show.
