In 2025, Wifiskeleton died due to a drug overdose, which led to his single "Nope Your Too Late I Already Died" going viral worldwide and posthumously earning him over eight million monthly listeners on Spotify. The single was certified gold in the United States, debuting and peaking at number 91 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also appeared on several other music charts around the world.
Early life
Jeremiah Justin Simms was born on July 24, 2003, in Atlanta, Georgia.[1] He moved out of his parents' house at the age of 16, calling the experience "scary as fuck" while in a 2024 Instagram Live interview.[2]: 3:48
Career
2017–2023[a]: Cyrus, Fuxkcy, Secretsaturdays and *67
In the late 2010s, Simms gained popularity through a YouTube commentary channel under the name Cyrus.[1] Around this time, Simms began writing music under the aliases Fuxkcy and Secretsaturdays.[3][4] In the early 2020s, Simms began performing hyperpop[1] songs under the alias *67 (or simply Star).[1] His work gained attention on streaming platforms and social media during the COVID-19 pandemic.[5][6]
2022–2025: Wifiskeleton
In late 2022, Simms began making music under the name Wifiskeleton (or simply Skeleton) with both being stylized in lowercase.[1] He co-founded the underground collective GothAngelz with fellow artists and collaborators Keepsecrets, Witchbox, and Mandy.[4] As Wifiskeleton, he released new music prolifically, but would sometimes remove large portions of his back catalog from streaming platforms without notice.[1] He released his debut mixtape, Lovefool, in June 2024, followed by Suburban Daredevil in October of the same year.[7][4] The latter featured the song "Nope Your Too Late I Already Died", which went viral on TikTok and became his first song to chart, debuting and peaking at number 91 on the Billboard Hot 100.[8][7] Following his death, Pitchfork stated that the song saw a surge in global popularity and streaming activity.[9]
In April 2025, he released his final mixtape, Pony, just over two weeks before his death.[1] According to music journalist Kieran Press-Reynolds, writing for Pitchfork, Wifiskeleton had allegations of grooming circulating online shortly before his death.[9]
Musical style and artistry
Wifiskeleton's songs incorporated elements of emo rap, lo-fi, guitar music, and hip-hop.[1] According to AllMusic, his lyrics often explored "extremely depressive themes of death, despair, self-harm, and other joyless topics".[1] He often used imagery of the 90s through early 2010s cartoons, emoji clip art, drawings, and early internet culture throughout his music artwork.[3] A staple of his songs were his self-deprecating text-to-speech tags such as "You are so goddamn pathetic," "You creepy loser," and "You are a creep and a weirdo".[3]
Death
On May 5, 2025, Wifiskeleton died in Miami, Florida, due to a drug overdose.[1][9] The report of his death was initially shared by fellow artist Witchbox in the GothAngelz Discord server,[10] stating that he was "already cold" when police and medics arrived.[6] On the day before he died, he appeared on an Instagram livestream in which he made statements indicating suicidal intent: "I'm finna pull up to the gas station and post the addy on my story. If you wanna pull up and kill me, it's the time to do it. If you wanna get a flick with me, it's the time to do it. I'ma overdose tonight and kill myself", though he insisted immediately after that he made the remark in jest.[11][6]
On May 7, 2025, Hallwood Recordings and 9th St. Records confirmed Wifiskeleton's death in a statement reported by Billboard, describing him as "a rare soul whose art, energy and presence moved so many."[7] In the days following his death, his Apple Music and Spotify accounts were compromised, resulting in the unauthorized upload of a track titled "Cinco de Mayo Was a Nightmare LOL", which contained a text-to-speech segment blaming Wifiskeleton's death on his friend Icemop, who was present at the time of his overdose.[12] The upload was later removed.[12]
Impact
According to Pitchfork writer Kieran Press-Reynolds, Wifiskeleton became a stylistic reference point within the "online indie music boom" and what was dubbed a "new wave of SoundCloud indie rock". Artist Ayowitty stated that a new wave of musicians were making "Wifiskeleton type songs" and replicating his sound to the point of cliché, with fellow artist Bunii adding that artists imitating Wifiskeleton's sound were popular across TikTok.[9] In March 2026, The Fader critic Vivian Medithi noted that Wifiskeleton was a major figure in the SoundCloud indie scene.[13]
