A jury in Florida (United States) has convicted three men for the murder of rapper XXXTentation<\/a><\/strong> last June 18, 2018. After several years of trials and police investigation, the culprits of the crime have finally been found and convicted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The killers are Michael Boatwright, 27, Dedrick Williams, 26, and Trayvon Newsome, 24<\/strong>. At the time of the murder, they were 23, 22 and 18 respectively. There is a fourth killer, Robert Allen, who pleaded guilty last year. His testimony against his former comrades has helped shed light on the events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The facts date back to 2018, when the rapper XXXTentation, who rose to fame with hits like HOPE, Look at Me! or Moonlight, was shot dead<\/strong>. It was broad daylight and he was visiting a motorcycle store when two hooded men asked him to give them everything he had. Finally, they ended his life and fled with a Louis Vuitton<\/a> bag containing $50,000 in cash that the singer had just taken out of the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What did Drake have to do with XXXTentation’s murder?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The conviction of the culprits has been life imprisonment, and it is expected that the facts will clarify some rumors that Drake was somehow related to his murder<\/strong>. According to the defense lawyer of the main defendant, Dedrick Williams, the singer had reasons to have murdered him, and assured that the two had a conflict prior to his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the lawyer, Drake<\/a> had serious personal problems with XXXTentation<\/strong>, and sabotaged the promotion of his song Look at Me! The singer finally had to testify, but it was eventually clarified that it was a baseless accusation, and finally the true and only guilty parties emerged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The definitive evidence for the trial was the recording of a security camera from the motorcycle store<\/strong> and the data from the cell phones of the accused. Although attempts were made to come to a quicker end through DNA testing, these ultimately failed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the death of XXXTentation, the rapper joins a long list of singers<\/strong> of the style whose lives have ended tragically. But, to remember him, we can turn to the great string of hit songs he released during his career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
