Skrillex Wipes His Instagram Except One Curious New Post

Skrillex has set the speculation wheels rolling, again! The Los Angeles-based Grammy-winning producer has cleared out his entire Instagram, save one photo. Yes, you heard it right! All these years of content & posts wiped out clean for his whopping 12.5 million followers. This dastardly act has left his fans concerned about the future.

Early December witnessed something unusual to start the jitters. An accompanying statement post his latest track, “Heavy Heart,” featuring Loco Dice and Fireboy DML has started raising the eyebrows. Reflecting on this new phase, Skrillex wrote, “I’m feeling every cell in my body, feeling so alive and connected as I move into this new phase.” He also revealed that his 15-year record deal with Atlantic Records is coming to an end—a milestone that he described as “surreal.” It is still unclear if ‘Heavy Heart’ is his final project with Atlantic Records, or if there is one final album in the pipeline for 2025.

Fans have been speculating the permutations behind this sudden move. From predicting a new album to bearing the brunt of a mental breakdown, rumour mills across the internet have been chugging like never before. Some barber experts also claimed that Sonny John Moore (Skrillex’s real name) might have removed at least 6-10 inches and kept it clean cut on the top. A recurring theme in fan discussions is whether Skrillex might be retiring the Skrillex alias entirely, or simply pausing new releases until larger projects are complete.

Skrillex is next scheduled to perform at the Sunburn Festival in Goa, India on the 28th of December.
