XXXTENTACION is the just the latest rapper to be shot and killed. Some say this is a robbery gone wrong, but it leaves many to question could this just be another case of rap beef turning fatal?
XXXTENTACION was reported dead after being identified in a fatal shooting that occurred in Miami yesterday. He was only 20 years old.
The adult male victim has been confirmed as 20 year old Jahseh Onfroy aka rapper #XXXTentacion.

The young rappers untimely death has came at a time where we are seeing the repeats of rap beefs that we have seen before in the 90’s with Tupac and Biggie.

In the age of social media, what can we do to stop these unfortunate events from occurring. It makes the call for gun control even stronger and relevant as it affects every aspect of our society.

They say that if we do not know our history, we are bound to repeat it. Knowing the history of rap beefs, why does gun violence and deaths keep occurring?
