Fans of the late XXXTENTACION were fuming after his mother Cleopatra Bernard went live on his Instagram account to promote another artist. On Thursday (October 15), the late rapper’s 18.2 million followers received a notification he was going live, despite being deceased for over two years.
When they tuned in, they discovered Bernard was promoting the video for the Bad Vibes Forever track “Chase/Glass Shards” featuring ikabodVEINS who she currently manages. The visual finds ikabodVEINS performing at a concert while levitating over the crowd. As X’s verse begins, ikabodVEINS lipsyncs the words while images of X flash in and out of frame.
As the Live continued — which pulled in roughly 300,000 viewers – comments such as “This is disgusting however you wanna look at it” immediately started flying on Twitter. Many of X’s fans accused Bernard of tarnishing her son’s legacy by seemingly capitalizing on his death.

Regardless of Bernard’s intentions, X’s fans aren’t happy.
