XXXTENTACION was shot and killed on June 18, 2018 outside of RIVA Motorsports in Deerfield Beach, Florida. Nearly four years later, a new documentary called LOOK AT ME! is just days away from making its premiere at South by Southwest (SXSW).
Ahead of the event, 50 Cent attended a private screening of the film with the late rapper’s mother Cleopatra Bernard. On Sunday night (March 6), the 42-year-old shared a pair of Instagram photos of herself posted up next to the television mogul. She wrote in the caption “Private screening with the coolest motherfucker on the planet @50cent.”
XXXTENTACION’s manager Solomon Sobande provided further context in an Instagram post of his own, saying, “Screened the @xxxtentacion doc for @50cent! Great to have the blessings of one of the biggest artists in tv & film! I have a feeling we got more in store!”
The XXXTENTACION estate announced the film’s impending arrival last month with another Instagram post.

“Through frank commentary from family, friends and romantic partners, and unseen archival footage, director Sabaah Folayan offers a sensitive portrayal of an artist whose acts of violence, raw musical talent and open struggles with mental health left an indelible mark on his generation before his death at the age of 20.”
