After promising that Don’t Be Dumb would arrive before year’s end, A$AP Rocky revealed the Tim Burton-assisted cover art for the long-awaited album on Tuesday (Dec. 17).

Rihanna hopped into Rocky’s Instagram comment section, showing love to her man for his hard work on the project. “Sooo f—in proud!!!! LETS GOOOO BABY,” she gushed.

RiRi wasn’t the only star to chime in, as music peers like Pusha T, Ty Dolla $ign, Westside Gunn and Smino gave Rocky his flowers.

While Don’t Be Dumb remains without a release date, the Harlem rapper apologized to fans for the delays. “SORRY 4 THE WAIT DON’T BE DUMB FINALLY HERE! THANKS TIM BURTON FOR HELPING ME MAKE THIS MOVIE! COMING SOON,” he wrote.

It’s unclear what Tim Burton’s involvement exactly is, but the decorated filmmaker appears to have been a sounding board for Rocky. Burton is best known for directing films such as Edward Scissorhands, Batman and Mars Attacks!.

“I sat and I played the album for Tim Burton, and he was f–king with it heavy,” Rocky told Billboard in his cover story last year. “He was rocking his head and he’s like, ‘Wow! I didn’t know you made that kind of music!’”

In November, as part of Variety‘s Hollywood Issue, A$AP Rocky revealed that Burton’s composer Danny Elfman scored “a bunch of the song” on his album.

“Danny Elfman, he just did my album with me that I’m putting out this year,” Rocky said. “He scored a bunch of the songs on my album.”

Rocky possibly alluded to a Jan. 16 release date when he hit the stage at Camp Flog Gnaw in November with “01162026” emblazoned across the sleeve of his hoodie.

Fatherhood has become a top priority for Rocky, as Rihanna gave birth to her third child with the rapper in September. The superstar couple welcomed their first daughter on Sept. 13, Rocki Irish Mayers.

In 2026, fans can look forward to premieres and returning seasons, including JUJUTSU KAISEN season three, TRIGUN STARGAZE, Hell’s Paradise season two, Hana-Kimi, You and I Are Polar Opposites, Sentenced to Be a Hero, My Hero Academia: Vigilantes season two and【OSHI NO KO】season three.

Crunchyroll Year-End Sale Membership Deals

A general reminder that with these subscriptions, members will unlock ad-free access to the largest dedicated anime library in the world, offline viewing for select tiers and perks at the Crunchyroll Store, including exclusive discounts and early-access drops on merch, collectibles and Blu-rays. You can shop deals on these memberships at Crunchyroll.com and below.

Pricing on these deals depends on where you are in the world. We will be taking you through all the perks of both memberships and the pros of either one. Whichever one you choose, you’ll still be getting discounted access to a wide range of anime for a whole year, so it’s a win no matter what.

Crunchyroll’s Mega Fan tier is now just $99.99, down from $119.99 a year. The service is the mid-range of three and offers ad-free streaming, full library access with simulcasts, offline viewing, four simultaneous streams, access to digital manga, access to the Game Vault, which includes free mobile games and a 10% discount at the Crunchyroll Store with free shipping over $50 (US). This is a great option for major Anime fans looking to get the best bang for their buck out of the service and includes perks out the wazoo.

Crunchyroll’s Fan tier is the first tier of three and it’s currently $69.99, down from $79.99 a year. This tier gives subscribers annual complete access to Crunchyroll’s library without ads, access to new episodes shortly after airing in Japan and 5% off on select products at Crunchyroll’s store. This offers fewer perks than the Mega Fan tier; however, it’s a more cost-effective option that will still give you access to all the ad-free Anime you can dream of.

Beats has long been a leader in the audio game, with their wireless headphones and earbuds consistently topping bestsellers lists and worn by some of the biggest celebrities and musicians in the industry.

Jack Harlow showed up to the Marty Supreme movie premiere in New York Tuesday night, sporting an interesting footwear choice for the red carpet.

The “First Class” rapper posed for photographers wearing a fitted beige turtleneck, baggy brown pants and… UGG Classic Mini Boots. Yes, the same cozy UGG boots that people typically wear to run errands or to lounge around the house had a surprising moment in the spotlight in front of other stars like Gwyneth Paltrow, Timothee Chalamet and Tyler the Creator, who were all there to support the new film (no word on whether Chalamet, who recently wore the UGG Classic Short Boots courtside at an NBA game, spotted Harlow’s footwear fit on the carpet).

The rapper’s strange footwear pick may have turned heads, but perhaps it’s not entirely unfounded: after all, UGG says its boots can be worn outdoors, and the weather in New York was chillingly brisk, hovering around 30 degrees during the premiere, which would have made these shearling boots something nice and warm to slip into.

Harlow sported the UGG Classic Mini, which features the brand’s now-legendary sheepskin lining, made from real fur humanely-sourced from sheep or lambs from Australia, Ireland, the U.S. or the U.K. The natural sheepskin keeps your feet cozy but also helps to wick away moisture; the EVA outsole, meantime, lets you wear these boots outside (like Harlow), with grippy traction and a comfortable fit.

Chalamet, meantime, was sported courtside at a New York Knicks game wearing a pair of UGG Classic Short Boots in the Chestnut colorway. These boots are slightly taller than the “Mini” boots Harlow wore, but feature the same lightweight suede construction and sheepskin lining. Chalamet paired hits UGG boots with baggy athletic trousers and a quarter-zip sweatshirt.

Everyone already knows about UGG boots and chances are, your friends and family have added a pair to their holiday wish-list this year. Fortunately, both of these signature pairs are available in-stock online, and can be shipped in time for Christmas. UGG is offering free expedited shipping right now too. See more details and more gifting picks at UGG.com.

Looking for a cheaper alternative? Amazon sells these Litfun Boots, which feature a similar look and style, only with a synthetic faux fur material (Litfun says the outer is still made from genuine suede). The cozy boots come in women’s sizes 5 to 12 and in five different color options.
