XXXTentacion's death shook his fanbase and the hip hop community on Monday (June 18). In Florida, the rapper was fatally shot by an armed robber outside of a motorcycle shop that he had just left a few minutes prior. He was only 20 years old. 

XXX's team, A/K/W PR, later released a statement regarding his death. "XXXTentacion touched the lives of millions around the globe and will forever reside in the hearts of countless fans who listened to his music, attended his concerts, and felt the glow of his uncontainable, undeniable, and unique spirit," the statement read. 

Since XXX's passing, his ex-girlfriend Geneva Ayala -- whom the rapper was charged with domestically abusing -- has spoken out. She created a GoFundMe page in October 2016 to help pay for surgery that was needed after XXX allegedly “aggressive hit” her in the face, which caused damage to her eye and its surrounding areas.

“There’s two fractures in my left eye socket due to an aggressive hit, along with nose and jaw fractures. since these bones are fractured they’re piercing into the back of my eyeball causing damage to an optical nerve and my eye itself,” she wrote on the GoFundMe page. “The left side of my face has lost some sensation, i cannot feel my upper lip on the left side, and same for my upper teeth on the left side. and as for my left eye’s vision, it’s diminishing as the days go by. it’s crucial i get the surgery otherwise my eyeball will die and the nerve connecting my lip/cheek and teeth will eventually die as well.”

On Instagram, Ayala said about her ex's death: “I want to scream at the top of my lungs until i can’t then keep screaming. i don’t want to believe this. no one knows. the s—. i feel. for you. It isn’t real. come back.”

She later added on Twitter: “It’s disgusting that people are speaking for me. I don’t care if no one cared about me however many months ago, I didn’t lose my life. he did. It’s permanent. I’m still here. Like how do you think that makes me feel? everyone expecting me to be relieved or happy?! No, I’m broken. I know y’all don’t f— w me, but this isn’t about me. just please stop tagging me in disrespectful threads and arguments. I honestly don’t care for any of the hype. I lost someone close to me. Leave me alone.”

Minutes after XXX's death, Ayala received thousands of dollars in donations. As the time of this writing, her GoFundMe page has gotten almost $35,000. Prior to the rapper's death, it barely reached its goal of $25,000.
