Held at Charles R. Drew Elementary, the Helping Hand event gave out bagged lunches to over 1,000 people and also held a candle lighting and prayer for X. The official memorial for X will take place on June 27 at the BB&T Center, where the Florida Panthers play.
We fed 1000 people today in @xxxtentacion ‘s name. The kids he use to come & visit were asking about him & a few were even inspired to hop on the mic! Jah was always about Florida talent, he would’ve loved this ? #AHelpingHandpic.twitter.com/1Rc0ifjPoW

Ski Mask The Slump God has previously mentioned in his Instagram story that he’d help out with the event. Although his involvement is unclear, he did pay homage to his friend by showing up to the BET Awards dressed as XXXTENTACION.
When I seen @THESLUMPGOD last night on the bet awards, I thought it was X. And I got so happy inside, I also got happy because he did this for him. pic.twitter.com/W1mclCW875
