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 ↴
Top of the morning too
By the catacombs
You and I, it's do or die
Skies are grey, so you flew a kite
We knew
And I'll take
My lifetime, better days
And I know
You, I, we die
It's so hard to take
This time, I'll fly
We won't ever break
It's all I know
You can't ever say
You, I, we die
It's so hard to take
This time, I'll fly
We won't ever break
It's all I know
You can't ever say
Vengeance never comes, ooh
Vengeance never comes, ooh
Vengeance never comes, ooh
Vengeance never comes, ooh
Vengeance never comes, ooh
Vengeance never comes, ooh
The lyrics of XXXTentacion's song Never offer a bleak view of life and consequences that await. There is a pervasive sense of death, with the opening line referring to a sad song, and the subsequent two lines mentioning the catacombs. The reference to do or die implies some sort of life or death struggle, with the skies grey and kites flying. The lyrics evoke a sense of desperation, with the choice presented being to "fly" or "break," with the former implying an escape from the bleakness of existence. The repetition of the refrain, "You, I, we die; it's so hard to take," further reinforces the fatalistic theme.
The word "vengeance" repeated at the end of the song suggests that there is something that has happened, or something that has been done, that requires retribution. The theme of vengeance is juxtaposed against the repeated assertion that "vengeance never comes," which can be interpreted as a commentary on the futility of seeking justice in a world where it is often not possible. The overall sense is one of despair, with no hope for redemption or salvation.
The song's lyrics offer an insight into the artist's state of mind and outlook on life. It displays a sense of hopelessness and despair, with lyrics relating to death and the meaninglessness of existence. However, XXXTentacion's confessional style also suggests a vulnerability and honesty that is somewhat lacking in other genres.

Sing me a sad song
Requesting to hear a melancholic tune
Top of the morning too
Greeting and starting the day
By the catacombs
Placed near the underground tombs
You and I, it's do or die
We have to succeed or face the worst outcome together
Skies are grey, so you flew a kite
Overcoming sadness by flying a kite in the cloudy sky
We knew
Both of us were aware of something
And I'll take
I will endure
My lifetime, better days
I hope for a better future in my lifetime
I won't awake
I will remain in a slumber state
And I know
I am aware of something
You, I, we die
All of us will eventually face death
It's so hard to take
Accepting the harsh truth is difficult
This time, I'll fly
But this time, I will soar
We won't ever break
We will stay strong and never crumble
It's all I know
This is the only thing I'm certain of
You can't ever say
You can never deny this fact
Vengeance never comes, ooh
Retribution is never delivered
Vengeance never comes, ooh
Reiterated that revenge is never served
Vengeance never comes, ooh
Again, stating that no one ever gets what they deserve
Vengeance never comes, ooh
Emphasizing the point that vindictiveness is fruitless
Vengeance never comes, ooh
Repeating the phrase to drive the message home
Vengeance never comes, ooh
Concluding the song by stating that there's no justice in the world
