A$AP Rocky is catching heat online after users accused him of plagiarizing another video and feeding it into the “Shroom Clouds” visual. The claim started circulating on Reddit this weekend. Just days after Rocky dropped the clip for the Disc 2 single featuring reggie and Jeremih.

The official music video arrived on October 19 and is credited to Rocky alongside directors Aisulton Seitov and Pietro Biz Biasia, with North of Now and Partizan producing. Those credits also list “AI Artist: Spike and Red” and “AI Artist: Ces.” The AI credits had fans arguing over how much of the clip was generated.

“He has such a clear and interesting creative vision, has good taste in collaborators and spends real effort on these,” one user wrote on Reddit. “It’s crazy how much a little bit of AI can ruin a video. All the obvious AI special effects were bad enough.”

The timing is messy for Rocky. Days before the video dropped, he told Complex he prefers to work “practically” with musicians and producers, while also saying fully prompted AI work is “their thing” and asking, “who am I to say what’s standard and what’s not?” Fans who hated the AI credit line are now using that interview as fuel. Others are arguing the visual still looks like a big production with practical and VFX work mixed in.

So far, this is accusation territory, not a settled copyright case. No named creator response or official statement from Rocky’s camp was verified for this write-up. What is clear is that “Shroom Clouds” is still part of the Don’t Be Dumb Disc 2 rollout, and the same video previously had fans reading an “30 OCT 2026” prop as a possible deluxe date. Until someone on Rocky’s side addresses criticism, the discourse is going to stay online and up for debate.
