However, she did promise hat she would not lie to her son about his father.
“I’m going to tell him about all the fond memories I have with his dad, Jahseh."
"I’m going to tell him how much his dad would have loved him. I know sometimes, probably when he gets older, it will affect him more than now when he is younger, but he’s definitely going to know about his father,” she stated.
At the time of his death, XXXTentacion was facing 15 felony charges, including aggravated battery of a pregnant woman in 2016, domestic battery by strangulation and witness tampering.
