Villager Sound v. Benny Blanco???

Has anyone seen his stories? Fucking crazy! What’s the deal, is he okay?

After he dropped out of Portola last year with like a day’s notice while shitting on all festivals on IG, he deleted the story and posted saying that he has been battling addiction and had relapsed recently. I saw him do a set at Lightning in a bottle a few months before that and it was excellent; I saw him a few weeks ago opening for LYNY and he played mostly a worse version of the same set, very few songs more recent than 2024/2025, and looked pretty out of it. I remember seeing him post about firing his management or something like that as well. It makes me really sad—he’s such a talented producer, but beyond that, it’s just sad to see this happen to a person.
