XXXTentacion suffered a devastating punch to his head during his performance Wednesday night at Observatory North Park in San Diego. X was performing his song “Garret’s Revenge” when an alleged associate of Rob Stoner attacked him.
X’s security team swarmed the culprit immediately following the attack.
X claimed the person who assaulted him is now in critical condition after suffering multiple stab wounds.
X wrote on Twitter, “several stab wounds, he in critical condition he might be dead in a few hours… ‘Just Sayin.’
X again told followers the culprit might die from his injuries in another social media post, writing, “You did good, your homie got a good hit on me! Wont lie! But how does it feel knowing your friend might die tonight because of you (not saying I had anything to do with me the ‘stranger stabbing him) but ya homie not lookin too hot rn.”
X also echoed these claims during an interview with TMZ .
“Apparently, I had nothing to do with this. Apparently, he was stabbed several times. He’s in critical condition right now,” he said. “Apparently, he might die. I don’t know what’s going on. I just know he might die [laughs].”
A report by Fox 5 San Diego appears to dispute X’s claims though. It was actually a concertgoer who was stabbed, and later treated for a non-life-threatening injury.
Fans are attributing the attack to San Diego native and rapper Rob Stone. X’s fans chanted “F**k Rob Stone” outside the venue in the event’s aftermath.
