A$AP Rocky Stages Dramatic Helicopter Entrance at Rolling Loud California

The rapper's first performance since his acquittal featured new music and a bold return to the spotlight.

A$AP Rocky began his Rolling Loud California headlining set by descending from a helicopter emblazoned with 'Don't Be Dumb,' referencing his forthcoming album.
The performance marked his first major public appearance since being acquitted of felony assault charges related to a 2021 incident involving a former friend.
Rocky debuted several new songs, including 'All Black (Stole Ya Flow)' and 'Stop Snitching,' while also performing hits like 'Praise the Lord (Da Shine)' with Skepta.
The rapper reflected on his recent legal challenges during the set, delivering politically charged tracks and addressing themes of unity and resilience.
The highly-anticipated album 'Don't Be Dumb,' delayed due to his legal battles, is now expected to release later in 2025, though no official date has been confirmed.
