Although XXXTENTACION’s life was cut tragically short, he left behind what his mother Cleopatra Bernard described as his “final gift.” According to a press release, his baby boy Gekyume Onfroy was born on Saturday (January 26).
“Cleopatra Bernard and Jenesis Sanchez are thrilled to announce the arrival of Gekyume Onfroy,” the statement read. “We’re happy to confirm that Baby and Mother are healthy. Gekyume’s name is derived from a word X created prior to his passing, which means ‘different state’ or ‘next’ universe of thought.
“XXXTENTACION specifically chose this name for his first born son. His family is honored to fulfill his wish and shower baby Gekyume with love.”
According to an Instagram video posted on Sanchez’s page, Gekyume — or Yume as they call him — didn’t come quickly.
“texted Cleo,” the caption read. “Everyone seemed a bit tired but excited for the arrival of Jahseh’s & Jenesis son but Gekyume is taking his time. We all waiting.”
Bernard revealed Sanchez was pregnant with the slain rapper’s child shortly after his June 2018 death. Following Gekyume’s arrival, Sanchez shared several Instagram posts celebrating his birth.

Is this the pregnant girl he beat before he died?
I think so yeah
I thought the baby was with his mom
It’s not. Shut your mouth
Wtf kinda dumb ass name is that
These names that black people give to their kids. Even the momma got a fucked up name. They love trying to be “unique” and be “different” from everyone else. They just end up be ridiculed for their dumb ass names.
well Jimbo, the name came from the father. Its a word that he coined. He literally invented a word and as a form of respect and love, the mother named her child after the word that the father invented.
Another black child growing up without a father. Hopefully the woman is classy, and can actually raise the boy right. I don’t listen to X and don’t know anything about him, so can anyone tell me why he got killed? Was he purposedly getting mixed up into the thug life? Like, was he asking for trouble?
No. He went bike shopping, got ambushed outside the gate, robbed, and shot. He stopped fucking around back in October or November of 2017 and started doing more positive things for his community like giving toys to local orphanages and planning charity events. 2 hours before he got robbed & killed, he posted on IG that he planned a charity event for that weekend. He genuinely wanted to be a better person everybody around him.
That’s a beautiful name! I’m gonna name my future child “Byutaki GeMiMi Tawanda KwiKwi.”
