ASAP Rocky says sample releases and leaks caused the delay of his latest album

ASAP Rocky lets fans know that Don't be stupid is still coming, but it won't be before the fall. He made the revelation in his Billboard Cover story. The reason? Sample approvals.

“Leaks and sample releases are disrupting the album. It's been six years and I want to make the best album ever. I'm sorry I had to wait,” Rocky wrote.
