XXXTentacion may be trolling or possibly dead. X posted footage onto his IG account of himself hanging from a tree.
Death isn’t anything to play, but many people are hoping the rock star is joking. Many fans took to social media to react to the shocking video:

xxxtentacion the only n—- to commit suicide and still post the video on instagram right after ?

I hope XXXtentacion dies for real. That wasn't funny or entertaining. Any of his fans defending this are legitimately mentally ill.

Aye @xxxtentacion foul, he could trigger other people contemplating suicide to really do it. Dude a real weirdo.

X has told fans in the past few months he was suffering from depression. X took to his IG account in July to announce he’s going to take a brief hiatus.
X’s message read, “I’m going to disappear for a little while, I love you all.”
X told fans he was feeling suicidal in June.
X posted a suicidal note on his IG story that reads, “I wanna die.”
X’s note came after he announced the near fatal shooting of his cousin.
X issued a message that read, “My cousin just got shot, pray for him please, need as much positive energy as we can receive.”
X soon issued a statement to fans, announcing the cancelation of his Revenge Tour:
“Dear fans and supporters, I am postponing the tour and giving a full refund to everyone that has purchased a ticket due to my cousin being shot yesterday, I want to be by his side, I apologize to everyone I am disappointing, I am, & must choose to maintain my mental health & physical health before anything, we will have fun and meet soon!
Florida, since I will be home I will do you show, but after that, I am disappearing for a while, I love you all. – xxx”
In May, X told fans his friend Jocelyn Flores committed suicide during a visit.
“A few days ago, I went though something I went through before, but not exactly in this term. I’ve had friends that killed themselves. I’ve seen people go through that. I’ve seen it all around me,” X said. “There was this girl I had basically flew down here to model. Great girl, beautiful girl. Wonderful personality. Showed no signs of depression whatsoever. When she flew down here, in an unexplained way, she killed herself when she came down here. It was a devastating situation to deal with.
“I basically got on here to address her and her family because I haven’t been able to contact her family personally,” he continued. “It f****d me up so bad to where obviously I wasn’t on social media for the last few days unless I was addressing something I needed to. Her name is Jocelyn. It’s hard to come from where she came from to be battling with suicide for so long, and be battling with depression for so long, and to kinda feel a step away from it, and see it happen right next to you. To feel so useless and powerless. It’s overall a really sad situation.”
X encouraged people who are suffering from depression to seek help.
X recorded alternative rock record “Garette’s Revenge” in her honor.
In this record, X croons, “I’ve dug two graves for us my dear, cant pretend that I was perfect, leaving you in fear, oh man, what a world the things I hear/ If i could act on my revenge, than oh would I/ Some kill, some steal, some break your heart, and you had thought that I would let it go and let you walk/ Well broken hearts break bones, so break up fast, and I don’t wanna let it go, so in my grave I’ll rot.”
In X’s bio on his SoundCloud, X shares the full lyrics and writes, “I love you garette. rest in peace, jocelyn, I will have my revenge upon the world.”
