A$AP Rocky is back outside as he gears up to release a new album, and his jeweler just laced him with the perfect ice for his new era. Taking to Instagram on Tuesday (July 25), New York-based jeweler Alex Moss showed off the new piece and made reference to Rocky’s latest release, “Riot (Rowdy Pipe’n).”
“I MIGHT START A RIOT,” Moss wrote with a snowflake emoji. “Exo Grenade Pendant + Crushed Bones Chain @asaprocky #AMNY”
A$AP Rocky delivered the militant “Riot (Rowdy Pipe’n)” video earlier this week, which will land on his forthcoming album, Don’t Be Dumb.
The Harlem native 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.
You can view the explosive new piece below:
Rocky proudly waves the American flag as he dons a vintage white t-shirt du-rag before changing into a pleated kilt skirt. It all comes to a close while the battle rages on and Rocky lays motionless on top of a mountain of cash with Benjamins still flying through the air.
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.
The track, which also appeared in a new Beats Studio Pro commercial that A$AP Rocky both 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.”
Rihanna is currently pregnant with the couple’s second child after welcoming their son RZA into the world last May. A release date for Don’t Be Dumb has not yet been set.

Ice Cube has once again addressed his long-running feud with Mack 10, claiming that his former Westside Connection groupmate committed “a violation that can’t be overlooked.” The West Coast rap legend continued his “Fuck the Gatekeepers Podcast Tour” on Wednesday (July 26) by appearing as a guest on Cam’ron and Ma$e’s sports talk show It Is What It Is.
