Through his rapidly growing fame in Mexico, Maverick suffered from a massive attack perpetuated by fans and some digital creators on social networks, receiving almost daily messages inciting hate, suicide and death threats directly towards him and his family. In November 2019, he released a statement through Twitter in which he explained that he would close his account and stay away of the media for a while. In the external statement:
"I don’t want to go too far, I just want to clarify one thing about it: if at first I was joking and following your bullying, it was because I didn’t know how to react so that all of you would stop. Literally if I complained you guys were going to throw me more, but if I said it didn’t affect me it could be the same, so I’m at a point where I don’t know if I had to react or if what I did was right, it’s weird. And it’s not like I want to normalize that you guys crossed the line between joking and bullying. I’m so confused, I’m thinking too many things at the same time and I need to rest."
In 2020 he reappeared with the live album Ed Maverick en el Metropólitan (2020) performing the hits of his first two albums and included the song "Ropa de Bazar" with Bratty, and at the beginning of the same year the AMPROFON gave him the diamond record for "Fuentes de Ortiz" for selling over 300,000 equivalent units, double platinum for "Acurrucar", platinum and gold for "Del Río" and "Ropa de Bazar", platinum for "Quiero" and Mix Pa' Llorar en Tu Cuarto, and the gold record for "Siempre Estoy Pa' Ti" and "WRU".
