Roddy Ricch quits social media amid trolling of new song
The Compton rapper posted a snippet of an unreleased single titled “Out My Mind” Saturday and deactivated both his Twitter and Instagram accounts today after widespread trolling of the track.
Roddy Ricch deactivated his Twitter and Instagram accounts over the weekend after a social media pile-on spurred by the release of a new song snippet titled "Out My Mind."
The seemingly unmastered section begins with the lyric "I've been low, I've been high / Out my body, out my mind / Wanna take my soul, take your time" and featues a series of questionable production choices such as a hyperabundance of hi-hat and a bass so blown out it brings the vocal track down with it.
Just hours after releasing the snippet, Ricch deleted it. "Guess I'm a flop now," he wrote in an Instagram story he posted shortly before deactivating, adding a piece-sign emoji. "Shit crazy."
Ricch's sophomore album did not live up to his 2019 hit-filled debut, Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial. LIVE LIFE FAST dopped a week before Christmas Eve 2021 to a lukewarm critical reception and fell off the charts quickly after debuting at #4.
