Seemingly unprompted, rapper JPEGMAFIA took to X (formerly Twitter) to lambast Pitchfork Magazine. He said

Can someone tell pitchfork, gq, anna wintor, conde nast media to stop reporting on me? i do not want or need your promo. stop speaking about me and remove my art from your site all together Absolutely noone needs pitchfork in 2025. Keep my name out your nasty hipster mouths.

Peggy has notably played Pitchfork's Chicago festival twice. Once in 2019, and more recently in 2023.

His albums have historically received positive reviews from Pitchfork, with the lowest being his 2024 album I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU, which scored a 6.9.

The rapper recently announced a deluxe edition of that very album.
