Roddy Ricch has been having a difficult time gaining the acceptance of his fans following the reception of his second album Live Life Fast.
Fans have called the album a letdown and even though Roddy has been trying to appease his fans by releasing a snippet for a new song, it seems it’s not enough.
Over the weekend, he released a 30-second clip of a song called “Out Of My Mind” on Twitter and Instagram and it immediately drew negative criticism.
In the song, Roddy sangs, “I’ve been low, I’ve been high, out my body out my mind, take my soul take your time….”
Fans went in on him, calling the song trash and comparing his falloff to Chance the Rapper.
Roddy then deactivated his Twitter and posted a somber message on his Instagram story that read: “I guess Ima flop now. Shit crazy,” adding a peace sign emoji. He then deactivated his Instagram account.
Fans noticed how Roddy was hurt by the comments and have come to his rescue sending him well wishes, “I hope Roddy Ricch is doing OK today,” said one fan. Another fan said the attack was unwarranted and that the song was not that bad.
Live Life Fast, Ricch’s second studio album released on December 17th, did substantially fewer numbers than his first project, bringing in 64,000 in first-week sales compared to his first album’s 101,000 first week.
Fans slammed Live Life Fast, calling it a flop. Roddy reacted on social media, commenting that the harsh criticism has been getting to him and promising to restore his credibility with a redux – Feed Tha Streets 3 – in 2022.
Roddy Ricch Cancels SNL Over COVID-19 Concerns
Roddy Ricch recently left fans disappointed after he pulled out of a big performance on Saturday Night Live over COVID-19 concerns. Apparently, someone in Roddy’s team was exposed to COVID, so the California-born rapper had to cancel his appearance.
However, fans still riding with Roddy can catch up with him at this year’s Bonnaroo Festival. After two years of cancellations, The Bonnaroo Music And Arts Festival is back on and with a great lineup.
The festival’s top headliners include J. Cole, Roddy Ricch, and 21 Savage. Other notable artists performing are Isaiah Rashad, Denzel Curry, Tierra Whack, Ludacris, Tinashe, and Herbie Hancock. Bonnaroo hits Manchester, Tennessee, June 16 – 19, 2022.
