Ten days afterXXXTentacionwasshot and killedin a suspected robbery, his music continues to live on.
The official music video for the rapper’s song “SAD!” was released Thursday morning. The single climbed to the top spot on theBillboardHot 100 following his death, jumping from the No. 52 slot, making him the first artist to top the chart posthumously in a lead role since The Notorious B.I.G.’s “Mo Money Mo Problems” in 1997, according toBillboard.
In the video, XXXTentacion attends the funeral of his old self, becoming shocked when the body rises from the coffin and engages in a fight between the two versions of himself.
The musician’s team announced the release with a simple message on his Instagram story: “SAD! music video tomorrow. Thursday 9 am EST.”

A few months earlier, the rapper’s court-ordered house arrest had been lifted as he awaited trial on multiple felony counts after being charged with beating hispregnant girlfriend.
He also sparked controversy with his music, notably in his September 2017 music video for his hit song, “Look at Me,” which depicted him lynching a young white boy.
