When it comes to music stars, no one in hip-hop has had quite the breakout like Roddy Rich.
His album, Excuse Me For Being Antisocial, dominated the charts with five singles, but none bigger than “The Box” which spent a total of 11 weeks at number one and even blocked mega acts like Justin Bieber from claiming a #1 in his album rollout. The song would go on to get non-stop radio play until the end of 2021 and would only be replaced by another song with Da Baby, which featured Roddy. After the massive success of that album, the bar was set high for his follow-up, Live Life Fast, which came in at number four on the Billboard charts and started a narrative that Roddy had fallen off.
Roddy is less than 25 years old and to say he is falling off is insane, but leave it to internet trolls to push the narrative regardless. Roddy has promised to come back harder with the next installment of his Feed The Street series and prove that isn’t the case.

This weekend, Roddy took to social media to tease an unreleased track called “Out of My Mind” and social media wasted no time attacking him with the trolling narrative that his music is “trash.” Fans viciously commented and tweeted at the rapper about how bad the track was, some even insinuating he fell off harder than Chance The Rapper, who has been MIIA from music for some time. Roddy took to Instagram to write “Guess Im A Flop Now, S**t Crazy”.
I honestly don’t blame Roddy Ricch for getting off Twitter and Instagram
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

Following the backlash, Roddy deleted his social media pages, leaving some people to come to his defense. Hopefully, the Los Angeles native is taking care of his mental health and expressing frustration in his new music. Like the old saying goes, “a one hit record can fix anything and shut anyone up.”
Roddy Ricch just need to get back on grind mode.. and its hard for artists to do after they've had hella success… Nobody loves you that much to wait 3 years for project. Feed the skreets.. OFTEN..or watch them turn on u word to NBA YOUNGBOY. unless u kendrick, frank ocean etc

A lot of artist take criticism hard especially when they were as praised as Roddy Ricch was. To go from people defending you against the industry’s top stars to them filling your mentions with slander is tough. No surprise he deactivated his Twitter over it.
