The late XXXTentacion’s girlfriend welcomes son, seven months after rapper’s death

XXXTentacion’s lineage continues with the birth of a son, seven months after his death.

Seven months after the death of American rapper XXXTentacion, Jenesis Sanchez, the late rappers’ girlfriend has given birth to a boy named Gekyume Onfroy. Jenesis gave birth just a few days after what was to be XXXTentacion’s 21st birthday.

According to the BBC a joint statement from Sanchez and the rapper’s mother, Cleopatra Bernard, said on Saturday (26.01.19), “We’re happy to confirm that baby and mother are healthy.”

The family statement says the late musician, whose real name was Jahseh Onfroy, “specifically chose” the name Gekyume “for his firstborn son.”Gekyume “means ‘different state’ or ‘next’ universe of thought,” it says, adding that the family was “honored to fulfill his wish.”

The pregnancy was revealed last June, shortly after XXXTentacion was shot and killed in Florida at the age of 20. “He left us a final gift,” Bernard wrote in the caption of a photo showcasing a sonogram.

In December, a posthumous 10-track album by XXXTentacion, ‘Skins’, was released. It was the rapper’s third studio album and followed “?”, which debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 last March and later reached platinum status following his death.

XXXTentacion’s personal life was plagued by allegations of domestic violence. He was facing 15 felony charges at the time of his death, including aggravated battery of a pregnant woman in 2016, domestic battery by strangulation and witness tampering.

In October 2018, audio emerged of the rapper apparently admitting to assaulting his ex-girlfriend and stabbing nine people.
