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.

XXXTentacion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The wind blows through the window
At the house of a dead man
All alone in limbo
Holdin' onto a cold hand
Missin' a part of me
I know I need to shut my eyes again
I know it's hard to be
The only one alone inside your head
Missin' a part of me
I know I need to shut my eyes again
I know it's hard to be
The only one alone
The wind blows through the window
At the house of a dead man
All alone in limbo
Holdin' onto a cold hand
The wind blows through the window
At the house of a dead man
All alone in limbo
Holdin' onto a cold hand
Drowin' in all my regrets
All just the same in the end
Over and over again
All that we do is pretend
Drowin' in all my regrets
All just the same in the end
Over and over again
All that we do is pretend
Lay me down, I'll start again
You're not around, I can't pretend
That I won't drown, that life won't end
I'm bleedin' out, I lost a friend
Lay me down, I'll start again
You're not around, I can't pretend
That I won't drown, that life won't end
I'm bleedin' out, I lost a friend
The wind blows through the window
At the house of a dead man
All alone in limbo
Holdin' onto a cold hand
The lyrics of "LIMBO" by XXXTENTACION feat. Killstation express the feeling of being stuck in a limbo after the loss of a loved one. The song starts with the singer being at the house of a dead man, feeling the wind blowing through the window. He is all alone in this place, holding onto a cold hand, missing a part of himself. Although he knows he needs to shut his eyes again, it is hard to be the only one alone inside his head. In the chorus, the singer repeats the same lines, as the wind blows and he is still holding onto the cold hand.
The second verse of the song highlights the feelings of regret, as the singer drowns in them, knowing that it is all just the same in the end. He pretends over and over again, but it is hard to conceal the pain. The singer wants someone to lay him down, but he knows that he needs to start again. He has lost a friend, and he can't help but feel like he's bleeding out. In the end, the singer repeats the chorus, once more emphasizing the feeling of limbo while being at the house of the dead man, holding onto a cold hand.
