At the time of his murder in June 2018, he was also awaiting trial for a 2016 domestic-abuse case, in which he was charged with aggravated battery of a pregnant woman, domestic battery by strangulation, false imprisonment, and witness tampering. He signed a record deal rumored to be worth a whopping $6 million despite a video that surfaced showing XXX hitting a fan in the head with a microphone at the Rolling Loud Festival in Mountain View, California. The late rapper XXXTentacion (real name Jahseh Onfroy) experienced a tumultuous but relatively rapid rise to success, punctuated by serious legal issues and disturbing acts of violence.
