Following the news of XXXTentacion‘s death, a number of artists and fans alike have taken to social media to share their condolences.....
“This got me fucked up. RIP X. Enormous talent and limitless potential and a strong desire to be a better person,” J. Cole wrote on Twitter. “God bless his family, friend, and fans.”
“Rest in peace,” Kanye West also tweeted. “I never told you how much you inspired me when you were here thank you for existing.”
“So we’re just back to major gun violence in hip-hop? So 90s wack,” Kierna Mayo also wrote on the social media platform. “Condolences to Xs fans w/o qualifications. I have 3 teen sons, y’all forget what death in the culture really does to us. Back to my hermit ass life where I can be old and wise w/o the dumb s**t.”
XXXTentacion was shot dead in Miami, Florida. He died at the age of 20. The divisive rapper had gained popularity online through music streaming service SoundCloud but was arrested in 2016 for aggravated battery on a pregnant victim, domestic battery by strangulation, false imprisonment, and witness tampering on ex-girlfriend Geneva Ayala.
In a recent report on XXXTentacion, it was revealed that the rapper’s fans were harassing Ayala following her case with XXX.
“Much of the harassment often came online. Ayala’s Twitter account was hacked and taken over by an impersonator, who tweets often about [XXXTentacion]. Her Instagram account was deleted after too many fans ‘reported’ her posts,” the Miami New Times reported. “But people tracked her in real life too.
She took a job at a Dunkin’ Donuts but had been working there only a week before [XXXTentacion’s] fans found her. They began showing up every day, harassing her, taking photos of her, and trying to follow her home. Ayala quit after three weeks.”
