Ferg Says His New Album Is Done, and A$AP Rocky Tells Him “U Know Where Home Is”

The next Ferg album is finished. The Harlem rapper, born Darold Ferguson Jr., announced on Monday, October 12, 2026 that he has completed his new album and is shopping for a distributor, and A$AP Rocky answered with a five-word comment that reads like an open door: “U know where home is.”

The exchange between the two longtime A$AP Mob members follows months of public back-and-forth over Ferg dropping “A$AP” from his stage name.

What do we know about the next Ferg album?

Very little beyond the fact that it exists. Ferg posted a screenshot from his phone’s notes app to Instagram, where he has about 4.9 million followers, writing: “I just finished my new album.” The next line was the real headline: “Who wants to distribute it?”

He did not share a title, a tracklist, features, producers or a release window. According to XXL, a number of music industry executives jumped into the comments to offer their help, which suggests the album is being shopped as a finished project rather than delivered to an existing label partner.

That framing matters. Ferg’s last album, Darold, came out on November 8, 2024 through A$AP Worldwide, Polo Grounds Music and RCA Records, the same label system he signed with in 2013. Publicly asking for a distributor is the clearest signal yet that his next release may land somewhere new.

How did A$AP Rocky respond?

Rocky replied in the comments roughly a day later: “U know where home is,” followed by “congratulations” and a red heart emoji. Billboard read the comment as an offer of support from AWGE, the creative company and label Rocky runs.

Ferg answered with “Appreciate you King” and a heart-hands emoji. Neither artist has said whether that support means an actual distribution deal, and no agreement has been reported as of October 17, 2026.

Why does the A$AP name matter here?

Because the two spent much of the past year publicly working through it. Ferg had been moving toward a solo identity as FERG for years; he first said he would perform under the shortened name in October 2021, and his first single billed that way, “MDMX,” arrived in May 2024.

Rocky made clear the change stung. In a BET interview that aired in August 2026, he said, “FERG dropping A$AP hurt me as well,” suggested Ferg may have felt he was standing in Rocky’s shadow, and questioned the timing, which he said came “before the first day of my trial.” Rocky was acquitted of two felony assault charges in Los Angeles in February 2025. He also stressed, “I don’t got no bad blood towards FERG,” according to iHeart.

Ferg pushed back gently. “I feel like that’s a personal thing for him,” he said, adding, “there’s nothing wrong with growing.” He also acknowledged where the name came from: “When I came to work with the mob, that’s when I became A$AP Ferg.”

The history runs deep. The two have been friends since high school, joined A$AP Mob together, and shared the 2013 remix of Ferg’s breakout single “Work” with Schoolboy Q, French Montana and Trinidad James, a track that went triple platinum.

Confirmed vs. unconfirmed

Here is where things stand as of October 17, 2026.

What’s next for Ferg?

The next step is a distribution announcement. Whoever lands the album, whether that is AWGE, a major or an independent distributor, will likely shape when it arrives and how it is rolled out. Watch Ferg’s Instagram for a title or a lead single; his 38th birthday falls on October 20, 2026, a natural moment for a reveal, though nothing has been teased.

Rocky, meanwhile, has his own calendar to run. He released the single “Shroom Clouds” on October 16, 2026, and his Don’t Be Dumb World Tour continues with five December dates in Australia and New Zealand, his first shows there in eight years.
