XXXTentacion’s career has been shrouded in scandal. He has two upcoming court dates in Miami-Dade County, where he is charged with aggravated battery of a pregnant woman, domestic battery by strangulation, false imprisonment, and witness-tampering. This past March, he was released from jail after nearly six months when he pleaded no contest to charges of armed home invasion robbery and aggravated battery with a firearm. He is currently serving six years of probation. At a recent concert in San Diego, he was knocked out on stage. A brawl then broke out, which led to one person getting stabbed.
