"Check up on your peoples, even the ones u don’t like. U get ONE SHOT at this life sh*t [man facepalming emoji broken heart emoji]."
It is still not confirmed though in the slightest if this is the truth, so please take all of this with a massive grain of salt.
Maxon, per Soap Central, got his start in music professionally in 2024 by releasing his debut single, "Mansion," to Soundcloud. In quick succession, his debut mixtape arrived in November called #healthy. These releases eventually nabbed Maxon a deal with Columbia Records in March of this year. In July, he put out his debut album/project with the label in Filthy.
While it's incredibly hard to see the silver lining here, we hope that Maxon Margiela rests peacefully and is in a better place.
