Gekyume Onfroy, son of the late rapper XXXTentacion, has graduated! The youngster’s mother, Jenesis Sanchez, took to Instagram earlier this week to celebrate her son’s latest achievement.
Jenesis uploaded a photo of Gekyume standing next to blocks that spelled “Grad.” The youngster was also surrounded by balloons commemorating the occasion. “Steppin’ in his lemon peps,” Sanchez said of his son’s style.
Many couldn’t believe that Gekyume graduated that debut season. “Man, how old am I even,” one social media follower asked after seeing the youngster’s photo. “Look at it so big,” exclaimed another fan. “Cheer.”
Some remember when the expectation of a son from Jenesis Sanchez was revealed to the world. The news came months after Gekyume’s father was murdered in June 2018. XXXTentacion’s mother, Cleopatra Bernard, announced Jenesis’ pregnancy.
“He left us one last gift,” Bernard told supporters online. “I’m so happy,” one fan said of Jenesis’ pregnancy. “He could become a legend like X was,” another Instagram follower added.
XXXTentacion was killed off as his career in the music industry gained momentum. The 20-year-old was known for having tough conversations about humanity in public, which is why so many people flocked to his music.
“I’ve been fighting since I was a kid,” X said in an interview with no rider. Some of XXXTentacion’s biggest fights included those in which he rejected feminism.
A few have called out the rapper for blaming women for their fate in the world. Yet X was able to raise millions to support him during what turned out to be a short-lived music career.
Jenesis celebrated Gekyume’s fifth birthday in January. “He’s getting so big so fast,” one fan said in reference to the youngster’s growth. “He was just a baby,” the supporter continued. “You are doing a wonderful job,” the fan noted.
“I know a dad who is very proud of his baby mama and son,” another Instagram follower said in reference to Gekyume’s dad. “Long live XXXTentacion.”
