The Final 10.5 Hours of XXXTentacion

[Music] around 15 minutes after this surveillance footage was recorded xxx tentacion was shot and killed right out the front of this very same motorcycle store several gunshots possibly a drive by a witness advised the black dodge journey shot somebody in a black bmw located within this mentioned black dodge journey were four individuals michael boatwright trayvon newsom robert allen and dedrick williams the last two having been seen on the surveillance footage next to xxxtentacion just moments before the tragedy why were these two shady looking guys snooping around the motorcycle store in the minutes before his death what was the motive behind the killing did the perpetrators know xxx tentacion personally after being pronounced dead at 4 51 pm that very same afternoon investigators would look over the prior 10.5 hours of jazzy omfoy's life back to 6am that morning at which point they discovered that his day started normally and that nothing was out of the ordinary at 605 am he'd begin the day with a game of league of legends before logging off 22 minutes later at 6 27 am now it's impossible to tell if he'd been playing the game all night or if he'd simply gotten up early to have a quick match before getting the day started but either way beginning his final day with video games didn't exactly seem unusual or indicate any awareness about the fate that was waiting for him that afternoon however x did seem to have a sneaking suspicion that he would eventually suffer a premature death in an instagram livestream from december 2017 six months prior xxx tentacion discussed both the possibility of death whilst outlining what he hoped his legacy might become when he did eventually die if i'm gonna die or ever be a sacrifice i want to make sure that my life made at least five million kids happy or they found some sort of answers or resolve in my life in the weeks and months that followed this instagram live stream x had both increased his security and vowed to never leave his house alone which would be discussed by a friend and producer zx flow who stated he did not travel alone he never traveled alone he knew that he has enemies obviously he would not go places alone i know there were people who were very jealous and envious of him he came from an area where not a lot of people make it out xxx tentacion had grown up in lord hill florida a suburban area which in 2014 was ranked as the eighth most dangerous small city in america and if we examine x's upbringing in the area it's really no surprise that by his final day on earth he had certainly created some enemies louder hill was like the hood a lot of he was like so okay you grew up in the hood are you a fighter you've been getting a lot of fights um bro i've been fighting since i was a kid well he's always been throwing the hands or what i mean i've been there plenty of situations like plenty fights after growing up in somewhat of a rough environment with his mother being a stripper and his father partly a drug dealer fighting people became a regular part of xxx tentacion's life almost like a hobby he'd be enrolled in a school choir during elementary school where he began to develop his love for music yet would be kicked out after punching another band member in the middle of a public performance like i was in choir ended up getting kicked out while we was literally doing a performance because he kept touching me when we were sitting being kicked out of educational institutions for fighting became somewhat of a trend in ex's life after the school choir event he'd then be expelled from margate middle school after kicking another kid in the mouth whilst also getting into a fight with a random person who provoked him on the bus ride home as a result of ex's short fuse in the eighth grade his mother would kick him out of home at which point he'd go and live with his grandmother who lived in a gated community reputable for drug dealing and gang violence a place where xxx tentacion would come to find even more enemies in this area x came into the possession of a firearm and began to take part in armed robberies ultimately resulting in his first nine-month stint in a florida juvenile detention center while locked up ex would meet another individual by the name of stokely clavon goldborn who would later come to be known as skamask the slump god it was hard we had to make it on our own they kicked this out we met in jail we met in jail having come from the same county x and ski master decided that after leaving prison then made up to continue their life of crime together however after noticing that they both had a mutual interest in freestyle rapping they would instead leave prison purchase a blue snowball microphone and enter a substantially safer business music yeah we need an outlet to just stop getting in trouble he ordered stuff off of ebay it was like a snowball mic audacity and like a laptop xxxtentacion would create his first ever song alongside sky mask titled news flock then posted to soundcloud after his release from prison with his second song of vice city discussing this desire to leave his life of crime in the past from this point onwards x would become so serious about his music career that over four years later on the final day of his life creating music was still very much a daily habit because at around 8am approximately an hour and a half after logging off league of legends at 6 27 am x would work on the beat for a new song recorded two days prior titled chase glass shards which would unbeknownst to him at the time be the last piece of music he ever worked on this would continue over the next six hours between 8 am and 2 pm in the process interacting with his girlfriend genesis who had become sick and was considering seeing a doctor without the knowledge that after that afternoon he'd never see genesis ever again x had something else on his mind buying a new motorbike at 3 11 pm x would facetime his mother for two minutes asking if she'd accompany him to a motorcycle dealership in deerfield beach to which he would say no sparking an argument resulting in her agreeing to instead go to the doctor with genesis vowing to never leave the house alone xxxtentacion would instead head to the dealership with his step-uncle stopping by the bank of america on the way over export up to the bank driving his 150 dollar bmw i8 whilst wearing a gold chain and a two thousand dollar louis vuitton bag he walked in calmly and withdrew fifty thousand dollars in cash placing each and every one hundred dollar bill neatly into his louis vuitton bag at which point he'd be noticed by the four previously mentioned suspects michael boatwright trayvon newsom robert allen and dedrick williams establishing a potential motive for the killing financial gain just weeks prior to this 50 thousand dollar cash withdrawal xxxtentacion had signed a deal for his third studio album with a reported 10 million us dollars however landing such a lucrative deal was no walk in the park continuing on from where we left off earlier after releasing vice city in 2014 rapping about his desire to leave his life of crime in the past x continued to release music yet failed to achieve any success in the beginning having no following whilst being fresh out of prison led extra take on a nine to five day job working as an over-the-phone electricity salesman i've only done one job and i was a sales broker because i know how to run my mouth electricity sells me hello my name is jose onfury from uh energy solutions how are you doing today around a year and a half later on the 30th of december 2015 xxx tentacion would drop one of his now most infamous songs titled look at me the track would come to be known as a sleeper hit laying dormant for over a year before exploding in early 2017 however in the process x began to build a cult following of incredibly loyal supporters for his unique sound and style xxxtentacion i wanted to ask you not no no now he's he's still growing and you know he's very young and as every artist you know is growing but when he speaks you know he can tell he's actually an intelligent individual he's not he's not a dumbass dude and he i think he has he actually has a message so by early 2016 around two years after beginning his music career he had achieved 18 500 followers on soundcloud yet had become one of the most highly requested rappers to be interviewed on atom22's no jumper podcast like i have a cult family so i don't have like a weak ass fan base like you have a crazy-ass following on social media and stuff and like it's not like necessarily the craziest like numbers like 10 000 or whatever how many of you on soundcloud um soundcloud i'm not 18. 18. 18.5 just the number of people who have asked me to interview you is insane like considering you know that you're like an underground artist like the number of tweets i had to read about you man however xxx tentacion was unable to stay out of trouble with the law and only three months after the previously shown interview would be jailed once again for robbery and assault with a deadly weapon after posting his bail set at ten thousand dollars he'd be released however only three months after that he'd be arrested once again after being accused of domestic violence against his girlfriend at the time the interesting thing about rappers however is that criminal charges and prison sentences are often glorified by their fans and seem to do wonders for keeping them relevant this is exactly what happened to xxxtentacion as it would ironically be during this third stint in jail that his notoriety and music career would find its way into the mainstream in january 2017 his song look at me which had been released over 12 months prior pegged at number 34 on the us hot 100 billboard after rex had been locked up for two months and was doing absolutely nothing to promote it while many of his other songs began to trend alongside it his newly found notoriety whilst in prison led to countless six-figure record label offers under the assumption that it was going to be even bigger after being released from prison xxx tentacion ended up spending six months behind bars during this third stint and was released in april 2017 with more fame more fans and more enemies than ever after receiving a deal worth an estimated six million dollars for the production of his second studio album titled question mark x would purchase a 1.4 million dollar mansion in parkland florida to house him his girlfriend and his mom in the space of one year and three months ex had gone from an underground artist in prison to a multi-millionaire mainstream celebrity however while exits certainly built the fame and fortune babsie didn't have enough time to build the high level of wisdom required to manage his high status position bringing us back to the moment that he withdrew 50 000 cash on his very final day the reasoning behind why x felt the need to carry such a large amount of money in physical 100 bills is anyone's best guess perhaps he knew the dealership would give him a better price if he paid with physical cash or maybe he just wanted to feel like a baller walking around with the average american salary in his backpack however if x never made this withdrawal the outcome at the end of the day might have been incredibly different because after leaving the bank x would be followed by the four previously mentioned perpetrators to riva motorsports all of which arriving at 3 30 pm approximately 10 minutes later two of the alleged perpetrators robert allen and dedrick williams are seen walking right next to xxx tentacion whilst he looked at bikes with the other two alleged perpetrators michael boatwright and trayvon newsom waiting outside in the black dodge journey 25 minutes later at 3 55 pm xxx tentacion would go to drive out of the motorcycle dealership before the dodge journey would block the exit at which point two masked men jumped out of the car and demanded x's louis vuitton bag and gold chain the thieves would successfully take both of these items after a bit of a struggle however even though the robbery was over when x looked at one of the men directly in the eyes he'd take two steps back and do the unthinkable rutabay this is something that has really stunned fans of xxxtentacion a rising star here in south florida fans began to gather here right after learning about the shooting that claimed his life they just held a moment of silence but they've been here listening to his music praying and lighting candles in his memory disgustingly in the hours after x's death dedrick williams one of the suspects would record a video of himself happily dancing around with a bunch of 100 bills also spending 800 on designer clothes at a fort lauderdale store the day after the killing similarly police would find a 400 receipt for clothing and shoes in a garbage can at michael boatwright's house purchased 13 days after x's death however while these complete and utter scumbags were living it up on their newly found unearned fortune x's music career was having its own after death explosion when he passed bruh i went up a million followers yeah anything that had to do with him went up i mean yeah it's weird to see like like his instagram followers doubled when he passed we went from like 7 to 14. like it's just crazy to see how people react when somebody passes as mentioned in an article written by hypebeast sales of his first studio album 17 jumped up 9 000 while his sophomore question mark project released back in march saw a staggering 41 306 spike in less than 24 hours after his tragic death similarly his average monthly youtube music viewership jumped from 150 million per month to 400 million per month following his death giving him a permanent increase in the value of his music as an offset to his passing it was kind of like karma a superstition that x certainly believed in i believe in past lives and future lives i believe in karmic cycle i believe until you align the karmic cycle nothing else matters however by the same token after x had been to prison twice for armed robbery himself perhaps his own death during an armed robbery was as he put it the karmic cycle realigning itself however no matter how poor x's prior decisions might have been they weren't nearly as stupid as those involved in the killing with bullet casings at the scene of the crime matching guns owned by the perpetrators and evidence as obvious as dedrick williams purchasing a neoprene mask from the motorcycle store just minutes prior to the robbery each of the four men were arrested one by one in the two months that followed the tragic event the perpetrators would have their fingerprints taken and would each face a pre-examination however almost four years later the men are still yet to face trial and have therefore received no charges however this hasn't stopped xxx tentacion's father dwayne on freud from expressing what he hopes might happen to the perpetrators you all killed that young man that father that son that brother without a cause i say this no malice in my heart i'm seeking life without parole for the participants in the robbery and cold-blooded murder of my son and the man who pulled the trigger i'm going to seek the death penalty you
