News of XXXTentacion‘s death shocked music fans across the nation back in June. The troubled Florida musician was reportedly attempting to leave the Riva Motorsports motorcycle dealership when he was blocked from exiting, robbed, and gunned down in the driver’s seat of his own car.
Now, in a posthumous honor, XXXTentacion won “Best New Hip Hop Artist” during the BET Hip Hop Awards. The show was taped this past Saturday, October 6, at The Fillmore Miami Beach at Jackie Gleason Theater in Florida and his mom, lawyer, and former manager accepted the award on his behalf.
