A$AP Rocky is back at the top of the charts thanks to his latest album Don’t Be Dumb, and nobody is prouder than his ride or die Rihanna.
The Harlem rapper’s long-awaited fourth LP, which arrived earlier this month following an eight-year wait, debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with 123,000 equivalent units in its first week, according to Billboard.
Of that figure, the project earned 76,000 streaming equivalent album units (amounting to 78.02 million on-demand streams) and 47,000 in pure album sales.
Don’t Be Dumb is Rocky’s third number one album and first in over a decade following 2015’s At.Long.Last.A$AP. His previous effort, 2018’s Testing, peaked at number four on the chart.
Pretty Flacko’s partner Rihanna wasted little time in celebrating her man’s chart success, writing on X (formerly Twitter): “Just me here to let yall know my baby daddy got the NUMBER 1 ALBUM!!! Aaahhhhhh hah! [zany face emoji] DONT BE DUMB!!!”
Rocky himself commemorated the achievement by simply tweeting: “LFGGG [fire emojis]!!! #DONTBEDUMB.”
