Rapper XXXtentacion was pronounced dead after reportedly being robbed and shot in Deerfield Beach, Florida on Monday afternoon (June 18). He was 20 years old.
Graphic footage of the rapper first appeared on TMZ showing him unconscious in a car, while onlookers surrounded him recording on their cell phones. A man is seen in the video trying his best to shield XXXTentacion from the small crowd, while also attempting to check his pulse.
Shortly after the news broke, several musicians, as well as fans, took to Twitter to shares prayers and condolences. Juicy J, Joe Budden, OG Maco, Travis Barker, and more are reacting on Twitter. See more reactions below.

No, people were tagging me in it along with the other thousands of death threats I get when anyone dies but instead of grieving ppl would rather joke about death for retweets. RIP XXX. Immense talent. https://t.co/cXyT3hLm8u

Your actions are your legacy. Act beautifully at all times. There is a beauty in disobedience. There is a beauty in rebellion. There is a beauty in rage. There is no beauty in malice. Violence consumes all equally. However, the good earn the tears of others. Do good.
Rest XXX

xxxtentacion may have had a troubling past and he had allegations surrounding his name but he was sincerely bettering himself and he saved lives with his music and personality. X's goal was to make the world a more loving and positive place. No one should ever deserve to die..

nobody is saying what xxxtentacion did was okay but that doesnt give people the right to wish death upon him..
