XXXTentacion was born in the year 1998 in Florida. He was raised by a single mother, Cleopatra “Cleo” and they were so poor that it was difficult for his mother to raise him with the facilities and infrastructure a child needed. But mother and son were very close and loved each other immensely. It was once reported,

“When she was in the picture he said she would shower him with gifts and affection. When she was away, a darkness and depression ate away at him, one that would define his short life.”

Unlike other kids, XXXTentacion’s upbringing was not a normal one. He had a troubled childhood and he was expelled from his middle school. The reason was because of fighting. After that, he started focusing on his music career. Then he rose to fame very quickly by uploading his songs and soon he was called as a SoundCloud Rap.

He was charged with ‘possession of a firearm, armed robbery, resisting arrest and Xanax possession’ when he was just 17 years old.
