Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were spotted in New York City at a packed album listening party this week. A fan-shot video showed the singer smiling through the crowd and greeting guests as the music played. The moment spread fast online as Rocky’s next era album, “Don’t Be Dumb”, ramps up.
At the same time, RiRi and Rocky made it a full fashion moment. She wore a bronze satin slip dress and a khaki bomber jacket. Her hair was straight and sleek, and she added a chunky necklace.
Rihanna shows up at A$AP Rocky’s album listening party in NYC
The appearance circulated after a Rihanna fan account posted that she attended a listening party in NYC. Meanwhile, Rocky is preparing to release “Don’t Be Dumb” on January 16. The project is expected to be his first studio album in eight years. So, the party worked as another teaser stop before release day.
In the clip, the Fenty Beauty founder kept things casual in the crowd. She held a white cup and carried a small shoulder bag. Her bronze dress sat low at the neckline, with black lace peeking through. Still, the khaki jacket and heeled sandals kept it grounded for a tight room.
Earlier in the rollout, Rocky teased the drop on Instagram. “SORRY 4 THE WAIT DON’T BE DUMB FINALLY HERE!” he wrote. Then he added, “THANKS TIM BURTON FOR HELPING ME MAKE THIS MOVIE! COMING SOON.” As a result, fans quickly connected the post to the album’s visual world.
Rihanna also showed love under that cover reveal. “Sooo f****n proud!!!! ??❤️LETS GOOOO BABY,” she commented. In a recent interview, Rocky spoke to PEOPLE about how much that support matters. “Family support is just … spousal support, everything,” he said. “It just means a lot. It goes a long way.”
For now, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky fans are treating the NYC stop as a steady sign. The couple share three children and keeps most nights private. However, with “Don’t Be Dumb” arriving soon, more moments like this could follow.
