Earlier this year, speculation that Death Grips had broken up ran rampant after a fan leaked purported DMs with the experimental rap group's producer Andy Morin. The message placed the blame on the group's vocalist, Stefan Burnett a.k.a. MC Ride ("Stefan doesn’t want to do [it] anymore") while leaving the door open for a reunion: “But truthfully none of us can ever predict what will happen with the group.” Months later, Death Grips have issued a statement on Instagram denying that they'd broken up, though the message is not signed by Morin.⁠ ⁠ Swipe for the band's latest statement, posted on Instagram, which reads, "Despite rumor and hearsay, we remain active as Death Grips," it reads, with the names of Burnett and Zach Hill, the group's drummer, and the bottom.⁠ ⁠ 📸 Tim Mosenfelder/FilmMagic ⁠ ⁠ #DeathGrips
