His most recent album, ?, debuted at No. 1 in the U.S. when it was released in March. The record was a highly-anticipated follow up to his critically acclaimed debut album. 17. Musically, X was respected by not only his fans, but also by his hop-hip peers and non-rappers alike. His creativity, skill, and honest lyrics have been applauded by everyone from fellow artists to critics.
Of course, the 20-year-old was also no stranger to legal troubles as well, having been on house arrest last year after charges of domestic abuse surfaced from an ex. Just last month, a defamation lawsuit was dropped against a woman alleging that XXXTentation intentionally hit her.
