The infamous dead rapper XXXTentacion is apparently getting his own TV show.
Base Entertainment opened a casting call for the TV pilot, and a lot of people are getting excited about it. Others, however, realize the potential dangers of creating the show.
It is fairly well known that XXXTentacion has a history of abuse and homophobia. This should outweigh any kind of musical talent he had, and there should not be a TV show made about him.
XXXTentacion started off as a SoundCloud rapper and was going to be the next big thing in music. That is, until he was gunned down at 20 years of age. I remember the day this made the news. A bunch of people (almost all men) were posting “RIP XXXTentacion” on various social media platforms, praising him for raising awareness for depression and suicide.
His hit song “SAD!” mentions suicide and how he is “sad and low”. The song lyrics consist of the same verse eight times, but apparently this made him a musical genius. His dark and personal songs seemed to resonate with a lot of young people.
What was too soon forgotten in these obituaries, was a darker side to XXXTentacion. Apart from his career in music, he is known for his confession to domestic abuse against his then pregnant ex-girlfriend.
He also confessed to stabbing three people during a fight in Deerfield Beach, Florida. Aside from that, he has made extremely homophobic comments.
So why does this man get so much praise? No amount of talent should be able to overshadow the violence this man has perpetrated.
A TV show about XXXTentacion may not be the best idea. If a young man sees an abuser getting this much attention, he may think he can get away with abuse too. We live in a time where we cannot let this stuff slide anymore. Violence against women is a scary reality, and we cannot have young men looking up to a man who beat his ex-girlfriend.
Although he was talented, but his music does not define him as a person. It is clear he was violent and hateful. Even if the show were to highlight the negative aspects of the rapper, he would still be receiving undeserved posthumous attention. People should be allowed to continue to enjoy XXXTentacion’s music, but his values should have died with him.
What in the actual fuck is this article this bitch sounds stupid real x fans know what’s good. This bitch is the definition of ignorant. X helped so many kids with their depression and made them feel not alone and this bitch just shits on him wtf. He wasn’t homophobic and if you listened to x you know this he didn’t care what you were you could be a fuckin alien and he’d be like ok idc. Fuck his past he was evolving himself into a better person and for some people to still shit on him is fuckin retarded. That man was one of the only genuine people out here he loved and cared for his fans so much that’s why we go so hard for him. So fuck redroll and the bitch who wrote this. That’s all thanks for attending my ted talk. Also its all love but don’t write a whole article on someone when you don’t even know the facts.
kys :))
it’s been 2 years and you’re still getting clowned on twitter i hope you seek help
You guys might want to check your facts on this article. You guys are idiots for even thinking this article should be posted.
shut the FUCK up you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about at all…. and you call yourself a journalist lmaoooo
you honestly have 0 clue wtf you are talking about, you lied about his legal problems, called him a homophobe, and spit on his music. I never thought such ignorance was real but here we are. do more research and watch the interviews before you make false claims about a man who saved millions of lives then ill let you have your opinion you dumb social justice warrior feminist
you’re literally disgusting for accusing someone of doing shit like this when in fact he wasn’t proven guilty. do your research before you decide on writing a whole article hating on an innocent person. I hope you get fired 🙂
This is quite possibly the most biased article I’ve ever read. You have clear hatred for this man, shown by the way you wrote about his music and told lies about his legal problems.
Do better research next time, and do better in general.
shut your bitch ass up bro. wit yo white ass. Watch your ass get jump in des streets bru. Better move to Africa bru
Shut yo skin tone chicken bone google chrome no home flip phone disowned ice cream cone garden gnome extra chromosome metronome dimmadome genome full blown monochrome student loan indiana jones overgrown flintstone x and y hormone friend zoned sylvester stallone sierra leone autozone professionally seen silver patrone head ass tf up. LLJ🕊
Shut the fuck up your hella mad and he was never found guilty and the case was dropped so suck dick until your jaw breaks…..LLJ FOREVER RIP X
Just because you don’t want a show doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be made. How about don’t fucking watch it??♂️
you sound stupid not gonna lie lmao
He never hit his girl. Plus he was never convicted anyway. Screw you and your fake ass news!
If they do make this they should also put in where he tries to make up for his mistakes. And that his other songs are lyrical and not the same verse twice. And as for the darker side goes. He was raised in a bad area and continued to live in a bad area. Showing how he had it and the meaning behind it is actually better than letting it go just like that. I know the hate I’m about to revive for defending him but I don’t care. He wasn’t just about his music. He cared about his fans. He cared about so much and even though he did bad shit before he admited and was trying to become better. That’s more that most people can do. And in an interview the girl he hated and abused. He loved. I want to see where he admits to abusing her or I won’t believe it. Yeah you heard her side but there are three sides to a story. In this case hers, his, and everyone else that “witnessed” it.
