Rapper A$AP Rocky announced that he will be releasing a new single titled “Tailor Swif’ this Friday, August 30.
Rocky mentioned that the previously leaked track did not have anything to do with pop star Taylor Swift, even though the inspiration for the title came from her. In a tweet posted last August 29, he wrote, “SINCE U DUMMIES LEAKED IT ALREADY.”

The post came along with a 10-second teaser of the clip, which was shot in Ukraine.
Social media users have mixed reactions to the teaser and took to social media to share their thoughts.
The upcoming single, “Tailor Swif,” has a lot of history. The rapper made the record debut at Rolling Loud Portugal in July 2022. A few days later, the music video was leaked. This might also explain why the teaser was captioned that way. After the song had leaked, Rocky appeared hesitant to include it on the album, but he seems to have changed his mind, and the single will now be available on streaming sites.
“It is very important and special if it makes it on the album,” Rocky told Apple Music in early August about his new material. “Most of the songs that I usually perform and s–t like that, muthaf–kas leak it. And once it’s leaked, it’s just like, ‘Nah, it’s not on the project.’ … I might perform it here or there, but it’s leaked. It is what it is. It’s out already.”
“Don’t be Dumb” album was supposed to be released this Friday, August 30, however, A$AP Rocky postponed the project until fall without providing a specific release date. In an interview with Billboard, Rocky discussed the endeavor as a component of his cover story and stated that he is still investigating German expressionism.
“In this very moment, it’s very grim. That’s an abbreviation,” he stated. “It’s infusing German expressionism with ghetto futurism.”
With help from Jessica Pratt, Rocky released his single “Highjack” earlier in August. The song peaked at number 89 on the Billboard Hot 100.
