Family members of the late XXXTENTACION are reportedly upset about the timing of the damning audio released earlier this week. According to The Blast, sources close to the family are worried about the secret 27-minute recording ruining X’s chances of winning a posthumous honor at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards in February 2019.
During the recording, X admitted he abused his ex-girlfriend and confessed to stabbing nine people.
Although X was deemed ineligible for Best New Artist, his team submitted X’s music for Record of the Year, Best Rap Song and Best Rock Song. His final album ? has also been submitted for Album of the Year and Best Alternative Album.
The family, including mother Cleopatra Bernard, are reportedly “extremely worried” the audio will cause enough backlash to thwart any posthumous recognition for X.
The nominations are expected to be announced in December.
X was gunned down in June outside of RIVA Motorsports in Pompano Beach, Florida. He was 20 years old. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
I will be glad when hiphop stops caring about this clown
They never really have. The websites that got paid to endorse him did
Websites don’t get paid to endorse him.
It’s called Payola.
all websites post things for money its called payola lmao name fit you can get on good morning America for aboit 7K or you really think they like proples products, books, etc ? everything you see is paid to be right in front of your eyes
lol like he would ever win a grammy what a delusional bunch
Why is his family so worried about Grammys & other awards so much? Is it because they’re trying to use his family after death to go to award shows or is it the boost in sales artists receive after winning Grammys?
This is lame as fuck to capitalize on their fam’s death to get some 15 minutes of fame.
*use his fame
That audio clip proves what goes around, comes around. Good riddance.
Worried about ruining X’s chances of winning a Grammy, F.O.H. Try worrying about the 9 ppl he claims he stabbed and the young woman terrified for her life to speak up (..righting the wrong of your child/fam) . I personally wasnt an X fan ( the way he entered mainstream hip-hop was too disrespectful/classless – speaking foul on Drakes mom etc…and I aint even a Drake fan) but he created this energy and the fact his fam is worried about this and not that speaks volumes! One.
Was going to say the same just not in as whiny of a way. Family sounds scummy as a mufucca hope they end up losing it all and then being found ineligible to go back on welfare. Fuck your grammy.
He was only going to get the Grammy because he died anyway. He was not talented. I’m not trolling he was a terrible mc
Why do they need an grammy for anyway?
His brand would be worth more, hence, the family makes more money off of his name.
I’m sorry, I’m not trolling, I extend my condolences to the family and wish death upon nobody HOWEVER the reality is he’s not on that level where he deserves to win a Grammy regardless of a audio recording. If he wasn’t dead you really think he would mentioned among the Ed Sheerans and fucking Maroon 5 because those are the kind of artists he’ll be up against. He’s got a following I get but he ain’t on that level.
Actually, nowhere near that fucking level, he would be lucky to be scum on the shoe soles of them.
Like he deserves a Grammy Smh, if he was alive would he be in consideration??
awwww
They are worried they can’t make money off that dead kid because he was a fucking garbage piece of shit.
Well she failed to raise a respectful young man, and now she’s failing to respect the dead young man. Her only concern about the audios is not the people hurt by her son but that she can’t make money of the dead son.
Praying for you is all I can say bc at the end of the day this women lost her child and all he really asked from his mom fans and family is let my music live on point blank period
I’m a personal X fan and you guys aren’t doing anything but bringing hardship on yourselves this young man helped so many ppl but everyone wants to focus on the negativity around him instead of looking at the person he actually was he was trying his best to change a stear the youth in a more positive direction his music was put out so ppl like him/us didn’t feel alone nor out of place in this world……rest easy Jah we know wea your heart was
You fool! He stabbed 9 people!!!!
I speak nothing but positive vibes toward his family and friends the loss of someone should never be felt plus at such a young age SMH I believe he deserves the Grammys
