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.

Uh, won't fall my nigga, I slip not
Won't fall my nigga, I slip not
Won't fall my nigga, I slip not
I won't be dead, misled, ahead, I never break, uh
Won't fall my nigga, I slip not
Won't fall my nigga, I slip not, uh
I won't be dead, misled, ahead, I never break, uh
Lost in the pessimistic state of perception
It's been hard to participate in natural instances
And due to my history, I don't know what's next for me
But keep my composure, fuck over anyone next to me
If dean detriment told me love was for negligent
Motherfuckers that can't seem to keep wearin' their head
I'm not self-aware, I'm misled, I'm a hypocrite like the rest
I will kill myself if it benefit all of my fucking friends
I'm sorry mama, I didn't mean to fucking hurt you
If I could test my worth, I'll show you heaven on this earth
So if alive or in the dirt
I swear to God, you'll be my first priority
Before the hurt, that mean for better or for worse
I said
I didn't mean to fucking hurt you
If I had to test my worth, I'll show you heaven on this earth
So if alive or in the dirt
I swear to God, you'll be my first priority
Before the hurt, that mean for better or for worse
I said
Won't fall my nigga, I slip not, uh
Won't fall my nigga, I slip not, uh
Won't fall my nigga, I slip not
I won't be dead, misled, ahead, I never break, uh
Won't fall my nigga, I slip not, uh
Won't fall my nigga, I slip not, uh
Won't fall my nigga, I slip not
I won't be dead, misled, ahead, I never break, uh
Through the soulless pit, I never slip, I get a grip
My mind drift to a place, where the devil lives
My soul rise to the sky, made of abyss
With the evidence, that I made with the elements
Fuck your settlement, let's settle this now
We tearing it down, we make these incredible sounds
We cherish them now
The pain that was never announced, we singin' it out
They look around confused like they ain't figure it out
Oh, you can't run away
From everything you made
You try to erase
Memories will fade
The lyrics of "Slipknot" by XXXTentacion embody the rapper's determination to stay strong and not fall, no matter the hardships he faces. He repeats the lines "Won't fall my nigga, I slip not" as a reminder to himself that he is resilient and will not give up. He also acknowledges his struggles with mental health and self-awareness, admitting that he is a hypocrite like the rest, but promising to prioritize his loved ones before any pain or hurt. The title "Slipknot" may refer to the notorious heavy metal band that incorporated dark themes and lyrics in their music, which could explain the dark and introspective tone of the song.
The second part of the song speaks to the power of music to heal and to express pain. The rapper encourages listeners to let out their emotions through song, even if it means singing about the pain that was never announced. The lyrics "Oh, you can't run away from everything you made, you try to erase, memories will fade" may suggest that even though we try to forget or ignore the difficult parts of our lives, they will always be a part of us in some way.

X,
I am a great fan of yours and have been with u for a while and I’ve seen you change your style and even create your own! (I’d say)
But... I’m here to say we need more songs like this , I know u have dropped infinity 888 which is similar in style and is also one of my favorites. But, we need more and more of “the old x” the one with the deep songs that mean much more than said
Most songs u have made recently are very flat or they have feelings but they are not as deep as can be.Also, there are songs such as “moonlight” and “H2O” which are more playful and fun (something to bounce to) which I think are fine , but there can be less of those songs and more old classic kind of songs (ones with deep feelings)
I’m just trying to help you and also I just don’t want my favorite and basically only artist I listen to to fade away...
@JCRAM64
Hearing X's voice saying he would kill himself in order to let his friends and family benefit is just heartbreaking
@Midnight_Ruby
Is it bad that this song, especially that part, just made me tear up a lot? As someone dealing with constant suicidal thoughts and other problems it just really hits hard inside to know that he’s gone.
@Inkaa1tarot
Tyler McKeen no it isn’t bad I feel where you’re coming from stay strong❤️
@Midnight_Ruby
Rxyalty Antoinette thank you so much for your words, you too. ❤️❤️
