\n\tRihanna <\/a>hopped into Rocky\u2019s Instagram comment section, showing love to her man for his hard work on the project. \u201cSooo f\u2014in proud!!!! LETS GOOOO BABY,\u201d she gushed. <\/p>\n

\n\tRiRi wasn\u2019t the only star to chime in, as music peers like Pusha T,<\/a> Ty Dolla $ign,<\/a> Westside Gunn and Smino gave Rocky his flowers. <\/p>\n

\n\tWhile Don\u2019t Be Dumb remains without a release date, the Harlem rapper apologized to fans for the delays. \u201cSORRY 4 THE WAIT DON\u2019T BE DUMB FINALLY HERE! THANKS TIM BURTON FOR HELPING ME MAKE THIS MOVIE! COMING SOON,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s unclear what Tim Burton\u2019s involvement exactly is, but the decorated filmmaker appears to have been a sounding board for Rocky. Burton is best known for directing films such as Edward Scissorhands, Batman and\u00a0Mars Attacks!.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI sat and I played the album for Tim Burton, and he was f\u2013king with it heavy,\u201d Rocky told Billboard<\/a> in his cover story last year. \u201cHe was rocking his head and he\u2019s like, \u2018Wow! I didn\u2019t know you made that kind of music!’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn November, as part of Variety\u2018s Hollywood Issue<\/a>, A$AP Rocky revealed that Burton\u2019s composer Danny Elfman scored \u201ca bunch of the song\u201d on his album.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDanny Elfman, he just did my album with me that I\u2019m putting out this year,\u201d Rocky said. \u201cHe scored a bunch of the songs on my album.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tRocky possibly alluded to a Jan. 16 release date when he hit the stage at Camp Flog Gnaw<\/a> in November with \u201c01162026\u201d emblazoned across the sleeve of his hoodie.<\/p>\n

\n\tFatherhood has become a top priority for Rocky, as Rihanna gave birth to her third child<\/a> with the rapper in September. The superstar couple welcomed their first daughter on Sept. 13, Rocki Irish Mayers. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After promising that Don\u2019t Be Dumb would arrive before year\u2019s end, A$AP Rocky revealed the Tim Burton-assisted cover…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":198241,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[93,1805,61,60,278,633],"class_list":["post-198240","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-genre-hiphop","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-music","tag-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198240","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=198240"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198240\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/198241"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=198240"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=198240"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=198240"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
