Grieving fans of late rapper XXXTentacion have opened their hearts and wallets in honor of his memory to the tune of record-breaking figures.
One of the hitmaker’s more memorable hits – ‘Sad!’ (the lead single from his second album ‘?’) – had already earned top 10 status on the Hot 100 during the peak of its popularity. Now, since the emcee’s untimely passing, interest in the song has been reignited so much reports are indicating it’s broken Spotify streaming records!
Details inside:
Spotify has inevitably reversed their decision to pull XXX from their curated playlists. They will now pay homage to the rapper with his very own “This Is XXXTentacion” playlist, admitting their were wrong to rush their decision several weeks ago: “While we believe our intentions were good, the language was too vague, we created confusion and concern, and didn’t spend enough time getting input from our own team and key partners before sharing new guidelines,” Spotify wrote in a statement.
The result of the reversal? XXXTentacion’s “SAD!” has broken the single-day record for Spotify streams with 10.4 million yesterday, snatching the honor from Taylor Swift‘s ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ (which nabbed 10.1 million in one day back in August 2017).

Spotify is only here for the black mans coins honey
Pretty much smh. They would have never put him back on there if he hadn’t died.
I actually like this song! The instrumental itself is very musical opposed to the trap crap most young rappers fling too. The ONLY problem is the song is TOO SHOOOORRRTTTTT.
All that money better go to that now blind victim of abuse he mangled.
F****** disgusting.
GENEVA HAD HER PART IN EVERYTHING AS WELL
So she deserved to have one of her eyes blackened & the sight taken away from the other?
You are an assh0le.
Im totally against domestic violence but I wouldn’t be surprise if she did that herself. She also said she was pregnant when he beat her which was not true. Why lie about that? She has had serious mental health issues since before they started dating. She actually escaped the mental institution she was in at the time. On top of that she’s up to $10,000 with her gofund me page. Ya’ll are so quick judge.
*surprised
He deserves it! RIP x 🙁
I can’t understand why folks go all in for Taylor sweeps sound…
lmao for the same reason you roaches sh*t yourselves over roach’s basic sound….youre idiots lmfaoooooooo
