History Trivia / XXXTentacion

* DeadArtistsAreBetter: Zig-zagged. While controversy followed him throughout his entire career, the general tone of conversation following his death was one of respect for the influence he had, with many who disliked him and/or his music admitting that he didn't deserve to go out the way he did and may have changed for the better in enough time. However, since then, the public response to the posthumous music pushed out by his label has arguably been ''even worse'' than anything he put out while alive -- although this has far more to do with how people believe his estate is prioritizing [[OnlyInItForTheMoney monetary benefit]] over [[DoingItForTheArt artistic integrity]] and essentially trying to invoke this trope as an audience response for personal gain rather than lingering sentiments on X himself.
