Why did Roddy Ricch quit social media? DJ Akademiks feels ‘he got triggered’ by troll abuse

The 23-year-old rapper was brutally trolled for his new snippet as many claimed that the beat was trash and he was using the same flow as earlier songs

Looks like Roddy Ricch got affected by the trolls as he seemingly stepped away from social media for good soon after he shared a brand new snippet of a new single on his official Instagram account on Saturday, February 5. ‘The Box’ hitmaker’s social media accounts were seen deactivated as hashtags like ‘#RoddyRicchfelloff’ and ‘#RoddyRicchsnippet’ secured one of the top spots on the trending list.
 
The 23-year-old rapper was brutally trolled for the new snippet as many claimed that the beat was trash and Roddy was using the same flow just like in his previous songs. However, his loyal fans soon came to the rescue defending the rapper by reminding his achievements to the haters. The multi-platinum hip-hop artist had dropped his second album called ‘Live Life Fast’ in December 2021 but it failed to repeat the success of his debut studio effort ‘Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial’ released in 2019.

Roddy Ricch did not share the reason before deactivating his socials but dropped a hint on his Instagram stories by sharing an emoticon of a peace sign.

I highly doubt that. But deleting ya twitter etc.. lol.. fans and trolls look at that as 'we won..' I hope Roddy don't get in the way of his own success... Drop music and be consistent.”
