Rapper XXXTentacion aka Jahseh Onfroy ongoing legal woes:

Leading into Monday's shooting, XXXTentacion on multiple felony charges in connection to allegedly assaulting a pregnant woman.

He repeatedly denied the woman's accusations, which were detailed at length in a 2017 deposition previously. The deposition followed the rapper's October, 2016 arrest where he was booked with aggravated battery of a pregnant woman, domestic battery by strangulation, and false imprisonment.

The woman claimed while living with XXXTentacion in Orlando, Florida, the rapper allegedly threatening her life 'like every day.' The woman accused the rapper of also punching, kicking, tackling and head-butting her, among other abuse.

Did Rapper XXXTentacion forebode his own imminent death?

Perhaps foreboding his own death, XXXTentacion had previously posted video to Instagram Live in which he spoke about what he hoped his legacy would be.

In the undated clip, he is seen speaking into his phone as he drives along, reflecting: 'If worse thing comes to worst, and I f***ing die or some s*** and I'm not able to see out my dreams, I at least want to know that the kids perceived my message and were able to make something of themselves and able to take my message and use it and turn it into something positive and to at least have a good life.'
'If I'm going to die or ever be a sacrifice, I want to make sure that my life made at least five million kids happy or they found some sort of answers or resolve in my life regardless of the negative around my name, regardless of the bad things people say to me,'
He concluded: 'Do not let your depression make you. Do not let your body define your soul, let your soul find your body. Your mind is limitless. You are worth more than you can believe. All you have to do is dream and all you have to do is want to fulfill that dream and have the strength.'

It remained unclear whether the rapper's death come Monday was related to payback for alleged domestic abuse allegations or gang warfare as has been the case with other high profile rappers in the US.

XXXTentacion, also known as Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy, was initially a young troubled  soul belt with anger and animosity. A rebel without a cause- lost  in the aggression of adolescence. Music was the only thing that allowed him to convey these feelings and emotions, it became his outlet and source of expression. His rise of fame brought upon hate and controversy and through all this he persevered and released his first album,17. He enters this album warning listeners that they would be  entering his mind, thoughts, and essentially his soul. X would then face a difficult time in his life to where he decided he needed a change and that  negativity wasn't always the answer. In this, he created the #helping hand challenge to which he would help the youth and those who needed it most. He spread messages of  love  and hope. He accepted our hearts  and energy when no one  else did. When we were alone, he made  sure we knew that he was there. He would then go to  release his last album, ?, to which he showed he was capable of creating any  piece of musical art. Sadly, his life would end  too short, however his legacy will  not. His legacy will live on through his cult following because he was more than a rapper or musician- he was an artist, an  icon, a legend, an  inspiration, a brother,  a son- a savior.
He will live on through his legacy, his music, his  message, and  his son.
