A$AP Rocky has been dealing with a wave of public criticism. Between a Drake beef and skeptics questioning whether his Don’t Be Dumb tour would draw a crowd, the doubters were loud. The tour has been answering those doubts on its own. Arenas have been selling out across the country, and the momentum has not gone unnoticed by Rocky’s own camp.
AWGE fires back
Rocky’s creative agency, AWGE, took to social media this week to address what it called “selective reporting” surrounding the tour. The agency pointed out the sudden silence from critics once the sold-out shows started stacking up. When Complex covered the posts, AWGE responded directly to the outlet, dismissing the coverage. The agency also clapped back at a fan who suggested bringing in a professional social media manager, offering the fan the job instead.
FUNNY HOW QUIET IT GETS WHEN YOU SELL OUT ARENAS STATE TO STATE.

Rocky speaks for himself
At a recent tour stop, Rocky addressed the criticism himself. He pushed back on rumors about his personal life, reports of poor ticket sales, and the overall wave of negative narratives circulating online. His remarks made clear that none of it was landing the way critics intended.
What AWGE is
For those unfamiliar, AWGE is Rocky’s creative agency and label, founded in 2014. Over the years it has grown into the operational force behind his brand, covering everything from fashion collaborations to social media strategy. Its voice online mirrors Rocky‘s own: direct, unfiltered, and unbothered.
The Drake feud continues
The ongoing beef with Drake has not gone away. Rocky’s track “Burning Bridges” has continued circulating online, keeping the rivalry present without requiring any new moves. When Drake recently appeared at a FIFA World Cup match celebration in Toronto, fans brought Rocky into the conversation anyway, a sign of how deeply the two are linked in the current cultural moment.
What fans want next
With the tour still running, AWGE’s social media has become a landing spot for fans pushing for a second disc or deluxe edition of Don’t Be Dumb. No announcement has been made, but the demand is consistent and growing.
