Comedy Central posted a clip from This Week at the Comedy Cellar on Twitter, which featured comedian Dina Hashem joking about XXXTentacion's murder.
Hashem stated in the clip, "Is anyone still mourning XXXTentacion? He’s a rapper, who was murdered, he’s dead now. He was shot, he was on his way to buy a car with $50,000 in cash and somebody shot him and took the money. Which is very tragic, but I also think it would be a very good Venmo commercial. That’s the first thing I thought when I heard that. Like, 'I don’t have Venmo, I should get Venmo.'"
Ski Mask The Slump God called out Hashem, sharing the video with the caption, "Y’all Take A Look At This Clown." X's DJ, DJ Scheme, also called out Hashem, writing, "F**K THIS P*SSY ASS HOE."
Hashem responded to the backlash on Instagram, writing, "I wasn't trying to hurt anyone's feelings, that's never what I want. I'm a comic and use jokes to try and make dark topics less painful but I realize not everyone feels that way, and I don't want anyone to feel badly. It was taken down and won't air on TV."
