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.

I'm in the studio
Ooh ahh, love yourself

The lyrics to "lOvE yOuRsElF" by XXXTentacion are meant to convey a message of self-love and empowerment, particularly for women who may be in toxic relationships. The opening dialogue portrays a conversation between two people, potentially a couple, with one person laying in a bikini and the other in the studio. The conversation sets the stage for the following lyrics which encourage the listener to prioritize self-love over the affections of a less desirable partner.
The repetitive chorus of "Ooh ahh, love yourself. Take no chances, f*ck that n*gga" reinforces the message that loving oneself is the most important thing, and that one should not take chances on someone who may not be good for them. The lyrics are calling out toxic behavior and relationships, and urging the listener to prioritize their own well-being.
