Just 10 days after rapper XXXTentacion was murdered in a suspected robbery and a day after an open-casket public memorial , a music video for his hit song “SAD!” has arrived. In it, the rapper attends his own funeral. His other self jumps out of the casket, and the two engage in a ferocious fistfight in the church and later in an alley. Throughout, the living X has a philosophical conversation with a hooded, sensei-like figure. The clip, written and “creative directed” by X and directed by JMP, is loaded with symbols, but perhaps the most telling is a handwritten note that appears next to X’s other self after the fight: People change, things change, and so did I, As long as the outcome is good for family and myself I’m not complaining. Some may see that as a comment on the 2016 charges of battery and false imprisonment against the rapper after several incidents involving his then-pregnant girlfriend. Watch the Video Below:
