XXXTentacion drafted his will seven months before being murdered; leaves everything to his mother, brothers
XXXTentacion, whose real name is Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy, reportedly drafted a will leaving his property to his mother Cleopatra Bernard months before he was shot dead in Florida. The 20-year-old rapper's mother filed the probate case for his estate on June 25. The 'Sad' hitmaker's will was signed by him in November 2017 and the beneficiaries include rapper’s mother and two brothers.
Cleopatra Bernard claimed her son's ex-girlfriend is pregnant with his child shortly after his death but his will states he had no children. The Daily Mail claims the rapper talked about what he wanted his legacy to be in a video.
“If worse thing comes to worst, and I f****** die or some s*** and I'm not able to see out my dreams. I at least want to know that the kids perceived my message and were able to make something of themselves and able to take my message and use it and turn it into something positive and to at least have a good life," he said in a live video.
The same video that he posted on social media further added; “If I'm going to 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 regardless of the negative around my name, regardless of the bad things people say to me!”
On June 18, XXXTentacion was shot dead outside a motorcycle store in Deerfield Beach, Florida and later died in a hospital. Earlier this week, fans flocked to his open casket memorial to pay tributes to the late star. The public service was held at the BB&T Center in Florida on Wednesday, with fellow rappers also in attendance. The final farewell was announced by his family last Sunday. They shared a post on the rapper’s Instagram account, writing: “Fans come out and say your final goodbyes. It will be your last chance to see him.”
A second upload, thought to be from his mother, showed a photo of a billboard of the impending memorial, with the message: “He considered you all family, I wanted to do something special for you all.” XXX's manager, Solomon Sobande told Sun-Sentinel: “His mother wants to ensure his fans get the opportunity to see him one last time. His fans were like family to him as well, and we want them to be able to say goodbye properly.”
Last week, 22-year-old Dedrick Devonshay Williams was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder but it has been reported that he pleaded not guilty in court. Police say they are looking for more suspects.
