With his chart-ruling debut album Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial and its Bieber-thwarting monster hit "The Box" in particular, Roddy Ricch became one of mainstream rap's biggest stars seemingly overnight. But his sophomore album Live Life Fast pretty much came and went around the holidays, debuting at #4 and disappearing from the top 10 within weeks.
Now, the reaction to a new track he previewed through Twitter seems to have driven him off social media entirely. On Saturday, Ricch posted audio of a song called "Out My Mind." Within a few hours, he had deactivated his Twitter and posted a peace sign emoji on his Instagram story. In another story, he posted, "Guess I'm a flop now" with a peace sign emoji, followed by "shit crazy" and the 100 emoji. His Instagram has since been deactivated as well.

He put out a solid project that took years to make and every move he made, people would tell him his project was mid or trash
Stop harassing artists fam, if you don’t like a project, cool, just move on pic.twitter.com/RyBVpHme0M
We need to remember that Roddy Ricch is only 23 years old and is still finding his place in the industry. Artists are still people.

I hope he’s doing good mentally. I know he’ll bounce back and we’ll be waiting ? pic.twitter.com/c5FLTCvipA
It's not time to write Ricch off yet. His song with 42 Dugg last year was awesome.
