People have still not been able to process the death of XXXTentacion whose real name is Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy. The rapper passed away in a shooting in Miami on June 2018 Since then there have been many conspiracy theories and false rumours circulating online regarding his death. Lets find out the truth.
XXXTentacion was found alive in the woods in South Florida, according to a fake news article. An article was published on Trend-News on April 15, 2019, saying that XXXTentacion had been found alive. Another fake news site, YouReact247, published a similar article giving the specific fake location where XXXTentacion was found, the woods in South Florida.
The fake article from Trend-News claims that XXXTentacion faked his own death as a means to “punk his fans for a new concept album.” That fake album will be called “The Dangers of Fake News.” The fake album is due to be released in 2019 and fans could listen on “XXX’s Spotify.” While the YouReact247 article alleges that since being found, XXX will be forced to serve six months in prison.

Police are also looking for an accomplice.

Shortly after his death, the rapper’s family held a public memorial that included an open casket. However, fans have been speculating that XXXTentacion has been found and he is alive making the following evidence as their base.
His latest music video shows him at his own funeral
A posthumous music video for the song ‘SAD!’, which was shot before has been released. It shows the rapper visiting his own funeral.
Some fans think he faked his own death
There has been speculation by some fans on social media that the rapper is still alive and faked his own death – despite official confirmation of his passing from authorities.
One of the conspiracy theory is that the video from the crime scene shows no blood, shattered glass, bullet holes and also the rapper’s forehead tattoo is missing in the clip, suggesting that the individual depicted could be a double.
Did XXXTentacion predict his own death?
“If worse thing comes to worst, and I fucking die or some shit 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 an Instagram live.
The rapper continued: “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.”
Fans have claimed that the clip was his “last” Instagram Live video before his death, but it’s not currently known when exactly the video is from.

Following XXXTentacion’s death, an old video has been circulated of the rapper saying that he was still alive and that his apparent ‘death’ was part of a music video. While a number of fans believed it to be current, the clip actually dated back to August 2017.
