Onfroy's most popular song to-date is Look at Me, which was originally released in 2016 and re-released in 2017, and peaked at number 42 on US Billboard Hot 100. The single helped him gain more popularity in early 2017 due to accusations of Canadian rapper Drake using a similar rap flow in his then unreleased song, now released under the name "KMT", that he previewed at a concert in Amsterdam featuring British rapper Giggs.
In July 2016, Onfroy was arrested and charged with robbery and assault with a deadly weapon. After posting bail in early October of the same year, while awaiting trial, Onfroy was arrested again later that month on charges of false imprisonment, witness tampering, and aggravated battery of a pregnant victim. Onfroy was released from jail on bail on March 26, 2017.
Onfroy announced his debut studio album, 17 on July 30, 2017. The album released on August 25, 2017. It features 11 tracks and includes the lead single Revenge.
Onfroy was shot and killed on June 18, 2018, in Deerfield Beach, Florida.
FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION
XXXTENTACION Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take me to hell, bitch, I came
I rip the head off the Pope
I don't need love, I need dope
Fuck nigga, what is your rank?
Take me to hell, bitch, I came
I rip the head off the Pope
I don't need love, I need dope

Line by Line Meaning
Fuck nigga, what is your rank?
Excuse me, lowly individual, what is your social status compared to mine?
Take me to hell, bitch, I came
I am already living in a state similar to hell, so your threats do not scare me.
I rip the head off the Pope
I am capable of causing harm to even the most powerful and respected figures in society.
I don't need love, I need dope
I am more interested in substances that alter my mental state than emotional attachments with others.

@EndingVisions
@@annoyingmanchild9612 how do you think actors are good at acting ? Musicians and actors have to tap into their pain to bring real emotion to a track or movie. Anything else would be considered FORCED and unnatural
