XXXTENTACION has passed away after being shot in Florida on Monday (June 18), according to a tweet from the Broward County Sheriff Department.
“The adult male victim has been confirmed as 20 year old Jahseh Onfroy aka rapper #XXXTentacion,” the tweet read.
Born Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy, X had been battling several legal issues stemming from a 2016 domestic violence case but had found success with his rap career.
His latest album, ?, debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart upon its release in March 2018.
He was only 20 years old.
Shortly before he was shot, X shared an eerie message with his Instagram followers.
“Worst thing comes to worst, I fucking die a tragic death or some shit, and I’m not able to see out my dreams, I at least want to know that the kids perceived my message.”

XXXTENTACION was reportedly shot in Florida. According to TMZ, eyewitnesses said he was unresponsive and appeared to have no pulse.
The controversial rapper was reportedly shopping for motorcycles when he was fired on while in his car. TMZ has reported it was a possible drive-by and that the suspected shooter fled in a black Dodge Journey. Shortly after the alleged incident, video started to surface online of X unconscious in the front seat of his car.
(WARNING: The following clip is graphic.)
TMZ reports the Broward Co. Fire Dept. took X to a local hospital where he’s a Level 1 trauma patient. Dispatchers reportedly described him as “comatose.”
The Broward County, Florida native’s latest post on his Instagram Story indicated he was planning a charity event in Florida.
X is embroiled in numerous legal battles stemming from a 2016 domestic violence case. The 20-year-old rap star was on house arrest but a judge recently allowed him to travel for work.
The Broward County Sheriff’s Office told HipHopDX, “We are currently working on that and will release an update soon.”
Several notable artists, including Juicy J, Tekashi 6ix9ine, Denzel Curry, OG Maco and Blink-182’s Travis Barker, have started sending their prayers on social media.

Get em
That’s too bad. Never listened to this kid’s music but he was way too young to die.
damn.
Rip to young artist
Rest in peace little man. ?
Rest in peace little man 🙁
Damn. God Bless.
Xxxtentacion died a legend
No he didn’t but RIP to the dude anyways
who was he beefing with??? I’ll tell you this…. i think Smoke Purp and Tekashi are nexxxt
Rob Stone and Drake from what I know.
Damn this is sad af. RIP
Thats sad AF. RIP. let this be a lesson to all these young rappers who talk reckless on social media and in music. Im looking at you taki69 or whatever the fuck your name is.
Don’t front like you don’t know his name is tekashi 69 bro it’s kind of lame.. I’m underground hip hop to the core and even I know his name. Anyways, RIP to X.. he really made an album for the depressed youth that was actually dope. Can’t call it hip hop, but good music for sure. Peeped him cuz of my lil bro and I was actually impressed. Didn’t deserve to go out like that man.. he was set in life. RIP
Im being dead fucking serious. I never heard one song from dude. NOT ONE! But he is all over social media. I seriously did not know his name…lol
Damn they didn’t have to kill the kid. Messed up
After listening to his music…. dude wasn’t a mumble rapper at all!!!! Damn shame RIP lil homie
Y’all really posted footage of a dead mans body? I’m not one to typically comment or is easily offended but cmon have some decency… this is terribly reckless, and I’m disappointed in y’all HipHopDx…
Yeah I’m pretty disgusted by that move too
This is insane. I wasn’t a fan of the artist, but nobody deserves to be gunned down. It’s just entertainment! Damn RIP
Shit ain’t cool XXX was a good artist with depth had a promising career ahead of him.
Fucking ridiculous
should have been rick ross
Drake and his OVO buddy’s is cleaning up da streets. Pusha next
Drake couldnt even respond let alone fire a gun. Remember, drake “DIDNT LIKE THE MAN HE WAS BECOMING” FOH!!!
The reports are incorrect. Tenacions condition has actually gotten more stable. Still comatose but alive.
Tupac and biggie were both alive but a doctor’s mistake led them to being buried alive.
Prayers For xxx
Im honestly surprised more rappers arent dead because most rappers talk ALOT of shit. I think most of rhese rappers arent as rich as thaey say because they have to pay hood taxes everywhere they go. Maybe this xxx guy thought he could go to miami without paying up…damn
he from Miami, he live there
Rest In Peace young brother ??
That video of him talking wasnt today right? He has blonde dreads in that one and blue hair in the other…
Bingo brother. Now look for the other cracks in story.
wheres the blood and bullet holes?
Exactly. But that will go right over most people’s heads and others will think you’re crazy for asking. Video talking about Warning: Graphic. No, actually there’s nothing graphic about it at all.
He was talented …crazy thing is he gets killed and 6ix 9ine still talking reckless and aint been touched …I liked them both but just saying ..plus he rumbled the Migos dolo and wasnt touched ….High profile case ..whoever it wasis going to jail…
Are you serious? Wow! I been listenin to SAD! All year and listenen to all of ?..
Karma for dissing the 666 God’s Mother, sucka shit
That’s really insensitive and karma doesn’t work like that.
Yes that is some bullshit they was all on his face with they fucken phones like he wasn’t shit they don’t have no respect for him.. I’m praying for his health and his life that is somebody baby. I can’t stand messing ass people.
My dude died in a Lambo like a G. R.I.P. Young King.
bmw. and if he was a G that shit would have been bulletproof
None of that shit means shit when you dead. Never cared for his music but R.I.P
Today’s rap generation has to be the dumbest ever.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Rainbow head 69..you next buddy..talking all that tough shit..go to miami…lol i bet he calms his shit down now
No offense dude, but it’s a reason why everyone from everywhere moves to Miami bruh. People from Brooklyn, particularly where 69 from ain’t tripping off no Miami. KIllers everywhere b, just a little more chill in the Mia.
“In the hood summer time is the killing season
It’s hot out this bitch that’s a good enough reason”
RIP
This Instagram generation needed something like this to happen so these children know these antics have consequences. Dude was 20. Ain’t no reason for this shit to happen. Remember kids, it’s all fun and games til you up in the streets.
You mean didn’t know…..
Ironic that Kyle Eu-seless reporting on his death, considering she hated him and wrote a scathing article in the editorials a while back. Guess you can sleep at night now.
The mentality of this new generation is what’s fucked up.
Says the kid who still rides the handlebars of his sisters BMX
God damn it… Another young black man lost to a gun. You know who I blame? Not the other black killer. I blame white police officers, and systematic oppression from the white man! The killer shouldn’t even be prosecuted. A random white person should be. That’d be justice!
Ok white boy Cletus. It really gets boring when you Fox conservatives spend a WHOLE lot of your time with idiotic propaganda on urban websites. Go kill yaself
I don’t go to fox. Fuck them. It’s run by white people, aka the people who led to this senseless murder.
Yea….ur logic seems legit…..smfh work on the upbringing of your own children before u start being the judge, juror and executioner…..makes u no better than them
we don’t wanna hear that bullshit Sharif
You have got to be trolling, but sjw culture has gotten so ridiculous I can’t even tell anymore.
Shut up pussy
Sad. Hope this shows all these young rappers (especially 69) that they need to chill with all that tough shit and just live life. You’re young rich and successful, don’t get yourself killed over dumbshit!
At least now he won’t have to face all them charges he had.
HHDX. Please, and I mean please, do something about the comment section. These people are the most vile scum of the earth. Absolutely disgusting. No compassion no decency no heart or soul. Comment section You should be ashamed of yourselves. R.I.P. X.
HHDX needs to report news better.. falling into the click bait trap.
Its life….the world is cruel as you can see from the article you are reading, as you can hear from the music you listen to, as you can see in the news everyday. If we continue sweep it under the rug then all you will get is more of the same. Let people communicate and argue the shit out, maybe that is the better way than shooting it out??
Wisdom right there
Only pussies ask for censorship lol.
Welcome to the internet
Predictable. This kid was wanting violence anyway he could get it, even if it meant beating on teenage girls. Layoff the lean and ish talking
Stfu dumb bitch okay we know he been doing sum things wrong but he was changing that as u can seen damn y’all so worry about what he did in the past bit y’all not looking at what he doing in the future
This dude will save many more lives with his music than he ever hurt on this earth
All I know about the dude is that Joey Bada$$ claimed to have a project in the works with him, which I hope will still come out. I’m sure I’ve heard his songs at some point but I don’t pay attention to the new stuff enough to know which ones are his. RIP either way.
As messed up as he was this kid made some great, MEANINGFUL music. His 17 record had some tracks you can really relate to in dark times. RIP.
This better be a fuckin wake up call for these new gen rappers to stop beefing over bullshit. But who knows why he really got killed. Way too young.
This ig clip was NOT minutes before his death his hair is a different style and it was before he died it
Not a fan but R.I.P.. The kids really like this guy. I hope some positive message comes from this for the rappers nowadays and in the future. I’m curious to see what the investigation turns up. Sounds like someone who knew what they were doing killed this young man. Sad.
If anyone tries to kill me
It was @Champagnepapi
I’m snitching rn – XXXTentacion
Rest up x. See you in the skies
What sky? Dude looked like the spawn of satan.
RIP to XXX.. so sad, he had talent. Gone too soon.
Everyone has talent and most of us have more talent than this fool
shut the fuck up you heartless prick
i’d say everyone has more talent than you, you heartless piece of shit
May I redirect you all to the unreleased Mobb Deep track “BOOM GOES THE CANNON.” It’s very fitting for this thread…
Drake sacraficed xxx. He needed a soul to keep his fame and shine after the pusha t beef. Drake will get his eventually.
Damn got killed in a BMW like Pac
True. Difference is, Pac could rap… it isn’t called the “Black Man’s Wish” for nothing… that cost quite a bit, right?
True.Similarities are, x and pac were young, they both had a future, and they could both rap, they had a family that cared about them
hmm
You know end of the day another young rich black kid is gone, now that knowing if his mother and kid will fall down because he is not going to be around to provide and i am willing to bet killed by another black man, this is so sick and out of control, where is all the black life matter movement and all these other so call freedom fighter or fighting for justice at, all that is a brunch of bullshit black people are their own worse enemies, Can we please wake up
People getting upset over murder isn’t mutually exclusive you know. I’d advise you to go to some of these inner cities and observe the stop the violence campaigns they have. But I know, it’s easier for you to rant about BLM or any other movement instead of really giving a shit about the problems, which are layered and deep.
These new age rappers r trash there music suck they rap with no kind of meaning r message and always rapping bout shooting shit up but when the bullet hits them everybody scared now gtfoh with that fake shit
Dude shut the fuck up and have some respect. So when Sly Stallone does shoot em up movies, he should get killed for that shit? I don’t rock with their music, but no one should die because they’re in entertainment and other dudes in the hood decide to kill them for talking shit or whatever they’re doing on wax.
True
you’re so stupid lmao. have you actually listened to his music? clearly not you degenerate fuck.
you listened to look at me and thats what you decided to comment? nothing of his new music? smh
This is awful… I saw light in this young mans music and the kid definitely spoke to me with his songs about depression. The world truly lost an amazing artist today.. Rest in peace Jahseh.
Sad shit man. I don’t like these kids music, but they all deserve a chance to grow up. Just a tragedy all the way around.
Remember this XXXTentacion guy had the racist music video where he lynched a white child? I call this karma. He put out that negative energy it came back to him.
The music video showed multiple video clips of black people and kids being killed. He did it to prove that people would go bezerk when it was a white kid who got hung. Understand the art before you criticize..
He was wearing a shirt that said “Revenge” while lynching a white kid. That’s pretty sick.
I bet the idea came from his jevvish handlers.
what the fuck
“art”……???LMAOOOO
Would you say “understand art” if it was a white musician who lynched a black kid in a music video? “he did it to prove that people would go berzerk…” – Well i fuckin guarantee you there would be a bigger outcry had it been the other way around. You would have all the jevvish-led anti-white organizations like BLM, ADL, Amnesty, All the rabbis etc crying about racism.
people make mistakes in their lives, but if you actually followed along with X then you’d know he was trying to turn his life around. i mean for christ’s sakes your name is sexy suzie? don’t act like you’ve never made mistakes in ur life. and i guarantee you his past is a helluva lot more troubled than yours so gtfo
’bout time someone took this trash OUT
Shut the fuck up and think of the sh it you say
say that shit in his memorials and watch yourself get fucking killed you absolute piece of shit with no respect for the dead, he had a little brother that loved him and wanted to be like him and you’re happy that he got fucking killed? you are a piece of shit that no one will ever love
Some artists you don’t really follow their music but u like their energy or knowledge jewels. He was one of em for me personally. RIP.
Lord please let xxxtenacion live and let him stay stron g
Yeah sorta like the energy cocassians have been putting out for the past 500 years. Imagin whats gon happen to yoll… We cumn. Smiles.
Well, hopefully you will learn how to spell by the time you arrive… Maybe a college education would help.
Oh down here in South Africa we already taking back the land without compensation and since the english language and dialect is a historic creation of MY people and not your cave dwelling ape made pig behaving kind , I think I reserve the rite to spell dis shit anyway I c fit BOY. We commin. Smiles.

Well, RIP, but don’t act like he was a good rapper. He was an overhyped kid with some bearly mediocre stuff. Many rap fans wished death on him – however not necesarrily literally. He played with fire, he hung a child in his video (the colour is whatever, you just should not harm children and that’s it). Now it’s ime for hypocrites.
Are you familiar with metaphors?
No I’m not familiar with “metaphors”…..fucking f.aggot
Are you familiar with child abuse?
No no. Metaphors isn’t supposed to be in quotation marks you muppet! I’m not sure you’re aware but he didn’t really hang a kid in his video (black or white). It was an actor. Acting? Are you familiar with acting?
it was explained that the reason he did that was to show that for years boys and men (And woman and girls) were hung for their skin colors, it was a sad part of everyone’s lives and that’s why he showed it.
That sh!t is fawked up ! 🙁 ///// R.I.P. X ! Thoses who read my comments know I’ve never been into that guy but you CAN’T be glad with this kind of news. This is very very sad. RIP young man.
why you afro-american got to kill each other like this?”
I don’t get the point, here… I’m not american… I never killed nobody… i’m not related to US gang sh!t… I live in Paris (this is my nickname tho’). To me, it is not even a question of “afro-americanism”. White caucasians doing intrusions everywhere in the world are even worse… Drop weapons
Sad news but dude himself did beat up women. Dont act like he was innocent. Live by the gun die by the gun
the allegations that his ex put on him about the beating was confirmed fake, because the ex said she was lying, we know he did some stuff wrong but he did try to change his ways..
Its always deeper than rap look how the industry promote such ignorance and beefs make front cover of rap sites this young dude was beating on females others are molesting children but still get wide coverage!!!!!!
And who is reponsible? Who runs the industry? The Jerry Hellers. The Lyor Cohens. The jevvs.
Just African americans gunning each other down, 69 better act right, or he might catch a bullet too
How am I not surprised reading negative comments and jokes, especially about somebody’s demise. I mean seriously don’t some of you have no fucking morals, its because of bullshit like this is why I gave up faith in humanity. I don’t even know why I bother reading comment sections anymore.
Death call is the only call you can’t avoid.. it was his time,mine is coming too. His came early but we all gonna die
it wasn’t his time, he was helping people in florida doing charities, he had a family that cared about him, and you have the guts to say shit like that?, the fact that people think we all have a time where we’re supposed to die is god damn retarded
So uhh.. When’s the #BlackLivesMatter demonstration? *crickets, crickets*
So uhh.. When’s the #BlackLivesMatter demonstration? *crickets, crickets*
