ASAP Rocky left fans stunned over the weekend after his latest music video, “Pray4DaGang,” was mysteriously removed from his official YouTube channel.
The removal sparked widespread speculation across social media on Sunday, July 6, after a screenshot confirming the deletion went viral. Fans quickly began dissecting the song’s performance, with some pointing to its underwhelming streaming numbers as a possible reason for its takedown.
An Akademiks-affiliated page tweeted, “ASAP Rocky ‘pray4dagang’ only received 236k streams on Spotify so far. His latest single is on pace to not chart the Billboard Hot 100 and go double grey flint lock pistol first week.”
The video’s removal resulted in a variety of comments from fans. Fans shared jokes, theories, and criticism. “First rapper to unrelease a song wow,” tweeted one of the first fan reactions.
Another claimed embarrassment, tweeting, “Damn he really that embarrassed? I thought it was pretty good.”
Addressing Rocky’s rollout, a fan tweeted, “This guy’s rollout has become so comical beyond belief.”
Mentioning Drake as the reason, a fan tweeted, “Drake speaks the truth mf asap fell off.”
Preaching Drake’s message, they continued: “MF fell off that’s what you get when you compare yourself to the goat Drake. Drake will keep breaking records while asap flops harder than last time.”
Patiently awaiting the album, a fan asked the rapper to just release it. They tweeted, “At this point, he just gotta drop the album and prove to everyone why he is the goat.”
Another fan suggested retirement, tweeting, “Might be time to pack it up, this is why you don’t take a decade off after 1 album (testing doesn’t exist imo).”
While Rocky has not publicly addressed the video’s removal, “Pray4DaGang” was slated as the latest single from his long-awaited album, Don’t Be Dumb, initially promised in 2024 and now scheduled for release in 2025.
The upcoming project is expected to feature a collaboration with his partner, global superstar Rihanna. The couple had previously hinted in interviews that they’ve been making music together for each other’s albums, raising anticipation even higher for Don’t Be Dumb.
For now, fans remain puzzled about the video’s sudden disappearance, with many eagerly awaiting an official statement from ASAP Rocky or any update on the album’s rollout.
