A$AP Rocky Hits “SNL” Stage Amid Big Streaming Success For “Don’t Be Dumb”
A$AP Rocky has been in the game for over a decade, but that doesn’t mean he can’t top himself and continue to grow as a commercial force. The release of his highly anticipated album Don’t Be Dumb has nabbed him a lot of streaming success, and he recently celebrated on the Saturday Night Live stage.
For last night’s (Satuday, January 17) episode, Finn Wolfhard hosted. Rocky even acted alongside him in a “Snackhomiez” skit with Sabrina Carpenter as well. The Harlem creative performed his two DBD singles “PUNK ROCKY” and “HELICOPTER,” as well as its title track transitioning into the latter single.
We’ll see if he announces a tour soon in addition to his upcoming festival performances. Rocky probably has a lot more to share from this rollout, as he’s been working on it for about eight years.
