- Travis Scott appears to have deactivated his Instagram account on Sunday, November 1.
- The last photo that he posted prior to the deactivation was of his Halloween costume, a Batman costume but in dark brown instead of black.
- On social media, people speculated that the sudden deactivation could be a reaction to the Halloween costume backlash or a sign that Scott was gearing up to release new music.
Rapper Travis Scott appears to have deleted his Instagram account, @travisscott, with little warning.
As Billboard reported, Scott appears to have removed his account on Sunday, November 1, with no indication as to why. The last photo he posted was one that showed Scott in a Batman costume: however, Scott's costume was in monochrome brown instead of black. Photos showed Scott posing next to two brown cars that were of similar colors as his costume.
As Cosmopolitan reported, the rapper was subject to some ribbing on social media, leading many to speculate as to whether commenters clowning Scott for his costume led to his deactivation.
On Twitter, others discussed and defended the costume as well.
While the timing seems convenient, others speculated that Scott deleting his Instagram account could be a sign that new music was potentially on the way. Scott most recently released the single "Franchise," featuring Young Thug and M.I.A in September. That single debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart.
As Complex reported, it's not uncommon for artists to wipe or temporarily delete their Instagram accounts in the lead-up to a release.
Along with the "Franchise" release, Scott's recent activities include a visually stunning virtual concert in "Fortnite" in April as well as a much-hyped McDonald's meal collaboration. He also launched a collaborative project, The Scotts, alongside Kid Cudi in April.
Scott's Twitter account remains active, although he has yet to publicly address the deactivation or the accompanying rumors. A representative for Scott did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
