**TL/DR AT THE BOTTOM**

I’ll start with a timeline of what’s known by most people.  XXXTENTACION and Ski Mask the Slump God are 2 rappers that came out of the Broward County area in Florida.  They met around 2012-2013 in a juvenile detention center.  Over some time they began creating music together and forming a close friendship and were nearly looked at as a duo by fans of theirs.  Around 2014, they created a group called “Members Only” which encapsulated a few of their friends.  Ultimately it was Ski Mask and XXX as the head of the group and the main ones poppin’ off in the scene.  In or around 2016-2017 XXX and Ski Mask begin to snowball rapidly in popularity.

It is known by fans that early in the careers of XXXTENTACION and Ski Mask the Slump God, they lived with a manager that goes by Bruno Dickemz.  He is allegedly a super twisted dude that praises a baphomet and was directing p*rn in the house where him and his artists were living.  There is a video somewhere with Ski Mask the Slump God rapping while a girl is engaging in some activities with another man right behind him.  It is even said XXX was making p*rn in the house.  Anyways this is just establishing who Bruno is and the living situation of that house.  

In 2016-2017, XXX was making massive waves within the underground scene and had a fanbase that was described more like a “cult” due to how diehard they were for XXX.  He was in and out of jail at the time, and notoriously shitting on Drake publicly any chance he got. 

Drake had an artist 600Breezy from Chicago.  600Breezy and XXX were going back and forth on socials due to XXX dissing Drake.  It is alleged by Thuglifevol3 that XXX was getting threats to him, his family, and even pets in his DM by 600Breezy.  But it is further alleged by Thuglifevol3 that XXX’s Manager Bruno Dickemz was also sending threats to XXX at the same time as 600Breezy.

This died down and in 2017, XXX and Ski Mask begin having a falling out.  Ski Mask is alleging that XXX is trying to sacrifice him and that people will only think of the duo instead of Ski Mask as a solo artist, so Ski Mask begins to distance himself from XXX.  This makes XXX feel a type of way because he thought they were a duo and now he thinks Ski Mask was just using him.

The start of 2018 comes, and XXXTENTACION’s popularity is snowballing rapidly while Ski Mask isn’t blowing up nearly as fast.  XXX during the start of 2018 seemed like he was turning a page and really trying to better himself.  He was even on live with Akademik’s apologizing to Drake for his actions in the past. 

Rolling Loud Miami (May 13th, 2018) comes around and XXXTENTACION and Ski Mask are on stage together for the first time since they started having public issues.  A major moment during this performance is them seemingly squashing their beef on stage publicly.  This was one month before XXX was killed. 

Fast forward to June 18th, 2018 and XXXTENTACION is tragically shot and killed in Florida. 

Now I have found a clip that’s quite interesting, it’s of XXX saying that he felt the moment onstage during Rolling Loud felt fake on Ski Mask’s end but XXX said he himself was trying to be genuine.  I saw someone say that allegedly XXX said that Ski Mask told him backstage that they just can’t be friends anymore and wasn’t cool with it.

I have found a couple of reddit posts that were interesting too from a YouTuber Domislive, who spoke personally to XXX regularly and speaks to his estate, that touched on just how real XXX and Ski Masks beef was behind the scenes.  XXX was even allegedly trying to get Ski Mask beat up.  Domislive says that they DID actually make up before his death, but the clip from XXX says otherwise.  He also made a comment that said even XXX’s family members wanted to know how Kodak Black was connected to Dedrick William’s.  

I came across this article from The Sun with XXXTENTACION’s sister.  She believes the murder was an inside job.

Oddly enough according to Thuglifevol3, 9lokknine allegedly had people nearby about to crash on XXX the same day, but they dipped out of the area quick because they thought the got double crossed.  EVEN MORE INTERESTINGLY, DJ Vlad brought up the XXX murder to 9lokknine in an interview, to which he says he was “there” and that he got pulled over for speeding 100+ on the highway later that day.  He then gets a $2,000,000 deal from Cash Money Records a couple months later.

*TL/DR* 
Ski Mask the Slump God and XXXTENTACION blew up around the same time while working together. XXXTENTACION began blowing up quicker and Ski Mask did not want to be in the shadow anymore and claims XXX wants to “sacrifice” him so he began distancing himself.  XXX feels betrayed and used.  They both make it known publicly they are not working together, up until a few months later when Rolling Loud Miami 2018 happens where they seemingly made up onstage. XXX claims this moment onstage together was “fake” and that he feels tension between him and Ski Mask still.  A month later XXX is killed in a robbery gone wrong.  XXXTENTACION’s sister says she feels like it was an inside job directed by someone close to him.  

I believe Thuglifevol3 is telling the truth in that Ski Mask the Slump God set up XXXTENTACION to be robbed, but ultimately got him killed.  This post is more or less to show the evidence behind what Thuglifevol3 claimed in that post.  There was clear frustration on Ski Mask the Slump God’s side due to feeling like he was in the shadow and allegedly trying to be sacrificed, and the notorious fed, DJ Vlad suspiciously trying to pick 9lokknine’s brain on the XXX situation and what he was up to that day.  Even people that attended XXXTENTACION’s funeral had the same story that Lil Yachty went and took a picture of XXX in his casket, which gives credence to Thuglifevol3’s claim.
