Promotion and release
On January 10, 2026, Rocky released the cover art for the single on his social media pages.[5] He captioned it:
"DUMBEST VIDEO OF THE FUCCIN YEAR 🔥🔥🔥!!! PLAY DUMB GAMES , WIN DUMB PRIZES!!! HELICOPTER THIS MONDAY 🔥!!!".
The cover art for the single is heavily inspired by PS1-era Grand Theft Auto games, specifically Grand Theft Auto (which the "3D ASAP ROCKY" logo is based on the logo of), and Grand Theft Auto 2 (which the "Helicopter 2" logo is based on the logo of).
Initially, Playboi Carti was supposed to be featured on the song, as he appeared on a version that was leaked online on late 2025.[6]
Live performances
Rocky performed "Punk Rocky" and a medley of "Don't Be Dumb/Trip Baby" and "Helicopter", alongside Danny Elfman and Thundercat playing drums and bass, respectively, during Rocky's first performance and appeared in the background during his second, on Saturday Night Live as the musical guest of the show on January 17.[7][8][9]
