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.

(Dun uhn duh duh duh duh duh)
(Dun uhn dun dun dun)

My name is my name (uh uh)

Don't ask me about me
'Cause you don't wanna know
You don't care to know
Don't ask me how I am
Don't ask me about my plans
Just observe what I do
Just watch like everybody else does

Don't pretend to enjoying my company
Don't pretend I'm not crazy
Don't pretend to love me
Don't prete
(Duh duh duh duh duh uh uh)
Don't pretend none of this hurts
And I won't pretend to feel

The lyrics to the song "XXX" by XXXTentacion suggest that the artist is jaded and disillusioned with the people around him. He tells his listeners not to bother asking him about himself because they don't truly care to know. The artist wants to be observed and not bothered, as he has grown accustomed to being alone with his own thoughts. He warns people not to pretend to know him or enjoy his company, and not to pretend that they understand his craziness. The message seems to be that people should not judge each other based on limited knowledge or pretend to be someone they're not.
The lyrics to "XXX" appear to capture the intense inner turmoil and frustration that young artists can feel. Given that XXXTentacion was only 19 years old when he released this album, these feelings of isolation and skepticism about others' motives are not uncommon. By emphasizing that people should not pretend to know him or love him, the artist seems to be saying that he has learned from past experiences of being let down or misled. These words may also speak to his wider struggle with fame and the sometimes shallow relationships that come with it.
