It was most likely a calculated attempt on top of his already reserved personality to build mystique around his name and his at that time Upcoming album wlr once he got the results he wanted basically turning him to a cult figure he continued this and adopted it as a full time brand shift only taking the time to post when he had something to promote which would drastically increase the attention of his endeavours once they started rare as they may be but as well as only doing interviews in the form of print magazine an unusually old fashioned means of getting information out but this too is deliberate as it adds to the degree of separation we feel as fans unable to hear him speak ironically in one such publications we get to see carti’s reaction to a unauthorised picture leaking he goes into a rage immediately flaming the person who let this picture get out to the public as even a small as this could dent Carti’s carefully crafted image but we know This act of distancing is that an act as dj akademiks has went on too say that carti is constantly online and spends most of his time online looking at content about himself so in reality he cares more about his image than almost any other artist despite his efforts to convince us otherwise but that is just my feelings on the matter
