In Florida, the Broward County sheriff's office said that XXXTentacion, 20, was shot while leaving a motor sports dealership in Deerfield Beach, about 40 miles (64 km) north of Miami.

The rapper, whose real name was Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy, was later pronounced dead, the sheriff's department said.

"The adult male victim has been confirmed as 20 year old Jahseh Onfroy, aka rapper #XXXTentacion," the sheriff's department said in a posting on Twitter....

What are we going to do without their insightful, yet funny commentary on the human condition? I'm just devastated, as I'm sure you all are.

The day the music died...2018 version?

[DIRTYSECRET]

The music died? I thought it was Tupac Shakur.

[End Times Sentinel]

Were they talented and/or young?

Were they going to get their GEDs?

Were they always smiling and helping people around the neighborhood?

Were they going to take their cousin to the zoo this weekend?

Broward County can't protect their citizens I surmise.

According to the rap culture this is a badge of honor. 72 virgin rappers await.

This is really going to give a boost to their street cred!

[clintonh8r]

They were planning to marry their baby mamas.

They were looking forward to enrolling in community college this fall.

They were just beginning to get their lives together.

XXXTentacion died!!!

OH THE HUMANITY!!!

[2ndDivisionVet]

They was gonna get the child support to they baby mamas all caught up as soon as they last payment on the Escalade is made.

[Mr. K]

But they were ‘just turning their lives around’... and were ‘matriculating into community college’ in the fall...

[gr8eman]

No music involved! I think they’re really celebrating this because isn’t that the ultimate goal of a rapper? To be just like 1/3 of a six-pack?

[albie]

“Jaseh”?! Is there a banker, lawyer, Doctor, astronaut or Real Estate tycoon with this name?

[rdl6989]

I never heard of either of them.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

XXXTentacion, 20, was shot…The rapper…was later pronounced dead…

"XXXTentacion" is pronounced "dead"? The grammar rules of Ebonics continue to confound.

Not the original idea of cleaning the swamp but OK.

[Tenacious 1]

XXXTentacion was born and raised in Plantation, Florida. According to media reports, he had spent time in jail and youth detention centers and was awaiting trial for domestic violence against his pregnant girlfriend.

Oh, my. I did not know he was in the midst of turning his life around. This changes everything.

In other news, the “N” word was shouted two million times today by other rappers, the “C” word 3 million, and the “B” word 15 million times.

I never heard of either of them. ................................ neither have I, but my ears are thankful.
