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 ↴
Might as well call it good night
Skull mask, death face
When I catch 'em swear it's on sight
Blade on me, in my hand, might as well cut a nigga up
Blood on my motherfucking shirt, hey
Motherfucking put 'em in a hearse
Motherfucking put 'em in the dirt
Fuckin' on your lil' fuckin' main
Might even eat her motherfuckin' brains, okay
Like stab her ass up touché
Pick the heart out bruh, who pray
I don't pray boy, I look to the sky, my nigga
Then smoke on a blunt to get by, my nigga, like okay
This shit fire
Nigga shit
The lyrics of "Chokehold" by XXXTentacion paint a vivid and violent picture of a man who is not afraid to use deadly force. He talks about his desire to inflict harm on those who have wronged him, boasting about his knife skills and willingness to commit murder. The skull mask that he wears adds to the darkness and menace of his persona, as he goes after his targets with bloodlust.
Throughout the song, he portrays himself as a living dead person, with an almost inhuman desire for violence and chaos. The lines "Living dead in this mothafucking thang, okay" and "Might even eat her motherfuckin' brains, okay" suggest that he has lost all connection to normal human behavior and is willing to engage in cannibalism to satisfy his urges.
The chorus, with the lines "Chokehold, lock in / Might as well call it good night", further emphasizes his deadly intentions, suggesting that he will not release his grip until his victim is dead. Overall, "Chokehold" is a disturbing and scary song that highlights the darker side of XXXTentacion's psyche.
