A$AP Rocky has delivered the militant “Riot (Rowdy Pipe’n)” video which will land on his forthcoming Don’t Be Dumb album.
Rocky plays the role of general as he galvanizes the troops and leads the soldiers into battle. The Mob leader hops on a military tank and directs the attack in Damier camouflage prints seen in Pharrell’s debut Louis Vuitton fashion show.

The 34-year-old made headlines when the track initially hit streaming services last week and spurred marriage rumors with Rihanna as he referred to the beauty mogul as his wife.
“My wife is erotic, I’m smokin’ exotic/My whip is exotic, my crib is a cottage/A whole lot of cheesе, see we gettin’ that cottage/A wholе lot of brains, I skipped out on college,” he raps over the Pharrell production.
“Riot (Rowdy Pipe’n),” which also appeared in a new Beats Studio Pro commercial that A$AP Rocky directed and stars in, comes after he first referred to Rihanna as his wife while performing at the 2023 Cannes Lions Festival last month.
“I’d like to dedicate this song to my beautiful wife in the muthafuckin’ building!” Rocky said, according to Billboard, before performing his 2022 single “D.M.B.”
