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.
XXXTENTACION's Routine Used To Include Days Without Speaking Or Eating
X was shot and killed outside of RIVA Motorsports in Deerfield Beach, Florida on June 18, 2018. Bernard has released two posthumous albums in the wake of his death, including the aforementioned Bad Vibes Forever and Skins. His Instagram account has been relatively untouched until this incident. Regardless of Bernard’s intentions, X’s fans aren’t happy.
Check out some of the reactions below.
The Stan’s need to chill. They all lost an artist you don’t expect them to chill when they have the leverage. X went out so soon and it can be both emotionally and financially painful. Let them get the bag… I ain’t mad. It is showbiz…no one ever really dies…
Yea uncle L and those who like that comment are the same ones willing to sell their soul for money and fame (hence uncle L) RIP TO X..let him rest stop stirring up his energy for selfish gains. It’s pathetic
It just doesn’t matter. No one will care tomorrow. Another group of sensitive millennials.
Is it possible to have a legacy when the only reason people really know who you are is because of your death? Serious question. Plus he was fucking terrible. Just cause someone had an untimely death doesn’t mean they’re 2Pac or Biggie. Just my thoughts.
Yes, she tarnished the legacy of a womanbeating asshole (R.I.P). Does anyone remember anything? Just because he was famous doesnt mean he was a good or even decent person, but what was his legacy? I totally forgot his music existed until this story, then I remembered “oh yeah, that’s that piece of garbage who didnt deserve to die but definitely doesnt deserve any reverence.”
xxx was changing you dumb ass and no that doesn’t excuse what he did but he actually was taking the steps to better himself and other people SO DO YOUR FUCKING RESEARCH before you say stupid shit like that you crusty ass bitch he doesn’t deserve to be disrespected. RIP Jahseh Dwayne Ricardo Onfroy,
“Stop destroying XXXTentacion’s legacy.“ What legacy? That of domestic and substance abuse, violence and mediocre music?
if you sit and actually listen to his music you would understand why he is a legend he helped a lot of people through depression and cared for others through his music before he was murderd he was doing something called the #helpinghandchallenge and who ever donated the most money or did the most charity work got to spend a day with him your old ass probably wouldn’t understand that so go sit your crusty old ass down somewhere.
His legacy is been tarnished since it came out he was a psychopathic woman beating pussy

But srsly what X’s estate is doing is not good. Ok what of Nipsey Hussle, Juice WRLD and Pop Smoke? Since they died, have u heard news of their estates doing something stupid to gain money? The main person I’m disappointed in is Cleo. U know that ur son is dead n u’re using his name to gain clout! SMH ?
Are you an idiot? Juice wrld’s posthumous release was a tribute to his legacy, it wasn’t done for money and also Juice wrld’s getting sued even after his death, where do you want that money to be paid from, you want his mom to sell her house and everything to pay it?
And also earnings from Legends Never Die would go to 999 charety to help others, you fool go and get some brain
