The rapper has also come face-to-face with the law on numerous occasions over the past near decade.
Back in 2019, he spent nearly a month in custody in Sweden after he was involved in a fight on the streets of Stockholm alongside his entourage and two unknown men.
Six weeks after his initial arrest, A$AP was found guilty of assault and given a suspended sentence.
The case attracted international attention at the time when US President Donald Trump intervened, claiming the rapper was being treated unfairly.
A$AP also appeared in court last year – this time in America, on trial for felony assault.
His former friend, Terell Ephron, claimed the rapper had opened fire at him during a heated argument on a Hollywood street in November 2021, grazing his knuckles with one of the shots.
A$AP denied the charges, arguing that the weapon was a prop gun and Terell, also known as A$AP Relli, was only after money.
After a highly publicised court case, A$AP Rocky was found not guilty of two criminal counts which carried a potential 24 year prison sentence.
The rapper also expanded into acting last year, starring opposite Denzel Washington in Spike Lee’s Highest 2 Lowest and featuring in the dark comedy If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.
A$AP has been on a journey the past few years, which appears to have influenced his growth as a musician and the direction he’s taken with the expansive Don’t Be Dumb.
He’s already secured the title of first major hip-hop release of the year and, with the album reportedly securing more than a million Spotify pre-saves, he looks set to soar up the charts on both sides of the Atlantic.
