A$AP Rocky humorously mentioned that he had to “basically stalk and harass [Tim Burton] for a few years” to get him to design the album cover for Don’t Be Dumb during an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on January 19.

He detailed how his collaboration with the iconic filmmaker and writer came to fruition, explaining, “I hit him up, and I was like, ‘Yo, man, I’d be delighted to kick it with you, play you some vibes and stuff.’ So, I went out to Malibu to kick it with him when he had a break, and he was just into it.”

When asked if he played the album for Burton, Rocky specified that it was an “early rendition” of the project. He stated, “He was rocking with it. So, I was just like, ‘Yo, you think maybe you could do the illustration for it?’” He noted that Burton was “keen” on the idea but had commitments to “Wednesday” and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, which delayed the collaboration.

Rocky characterized the artwork as a fusion of urban sci-fi and German expressionism, describing it as “ghetto futurism.” He remarked, “That’s what you get when you get Pretty Flacko and Tim Burton together.”

Don’t Be Dumb was released on January 16 and features contributions from artists like Doechii, BossMan Dlow, Westside Gunn, Brent Faiyaz, and others. According to Rap-Up’s review, Rocky explored various topics on the album, including his trial, his relationship with Rihanna, and references that appeared to target Drake and Travis Scott.

On January 20, Rocky announced his plans to take the project on tour, with the “Don’t Be Dumb On Tour” set to begin in Chicago on May 27, followed by stops in Toronto, Atlanta, Detroit, and additional cities.
