The first song of the popular rapper XXXTentacion was “News/Flock” which he released in the month of June 2013 on SoundCloud. The rapper has had most of his songs deleted from the application with some yet to be discovered.

Well, During the track, X raps: “I’m in pain, wanna put ten shots in my brain. I’ve been tripping about some things, can’t change. Suicidal, same time I’m time. Picture this, in bed, get a phone call. Girl that you f***** with killed herself. That was this summer and nobody helped.”

Looking at X’s bars, it’s easy to see that the well known rapper was struggling with feelings of guilt and loneliness. In the Genius analysis, it is noted that X “can’t stop thinking about the girl” and “gets candid about his own emotional struggles”.

Controversy Following the Release of ‘Jocelyn Flores’

Although the track was very well received by his fans and also did very well critically, peaking at the very #19 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, X would land himself in hot water after failing to notify the family of his intentions to release a track inspired by the death of their beloved daughter.

The family of Jocelyn Flores knew absolutely nothing of the release of the single and it wasn’t until the teenager’s uncle heard the track after its release did they get wind of it. Regarding the moment he heard the song, Flores’ uncle said: “I couldn’t believe it… I saw the thing. It said ‘Jocelyn Flores!’ on the thing. I was like, what the hell?”

Flores’ aunt, Brandee Ramirez, wasn’t happy with X’s lack of communication with the family and publicly stated: “[He] “didn’t even give us the courtesy [of] saying hey, I’m going to do this, I hope you guys are OK with it!” Ramirez went on to make the claim that X was only using the death of their beloved Flores for publicity.

Not all of the family were upset by X’s actions though, with Flores’ step-sister suggesting that the use of Flores’ name as a song title was however an honor. X would later take to social media to offer his condolences to Flores’ family.

A number of Flores’ family wanted more face-to-face communication with X following the girl’s death, and Flores’ father at one point even tried to arrange a phone conversation, but X never responded.

“We just wanted to know what her last day was like,” Ramirez stated. “That torments me. I just want to know the last day. Please. Tell me anything. What did she do that day? What did she eat? When was the last time you saw her? Did you take her to Universal Studios like you promised her? What is it that you did with her? What was her last day like?”

The Death of XXXTentacion

However, On the 18th June 2018, just over a year after the death of Jocelyn Flores, X was assassinated during a robbery.

Following the rapper’s tragic death, Billboard reported that their single-day streaming record was broken by X’s track ‘Sad!’, with over 10.4 million listeners honoring X’s death.

XXXTentacion – whose full name was Jahseh Dwayne Ricardo Onfroy – lived a high tempo life that attracted as much more adoration as it did condemnation. And, so was his level of strong cult fandom, questions surrounding X’s life are unlikely to stop being asked any time soon.

In the aftermath of Jocelyn Flores’ death, an Instagram page based on the likeness of the teenager has become a space for young people who are struggling with depression and other mental illnesses to talk to one another and also share their experiences.
