Future's Freebandz artist FXXXXY has reportedly passed away at 25. Details are still scarce surrounding the situation, but Future confirmed the news on his Instagram Stories. He shared a screenshot of their recent text conversation with the caption, "Just yesterday….GONE WAY TOO SOON @flawedupshawty."
FXXXY started getting recognition around 2016 after dropping his "Cartel Shawty EP," and in 2017 he followed up with "Flawed Up Shawty." He spoke about the project with Complex, telling them, "Flawed Up Shawty is me trying to stay sane and avoid the darkness that this type of recognition swallows people in. It’s me trying to cope with losing a relationship with somebody that held me down for so long and shooting shots at everybody who’s been sneak dissing as if we don’t see them."
He added, "It’s a lot more aggressive and less caring — letting the listener hear my flaws and things that’s not attractive. 'Flawed up' is slang for having this strong confidence even though you’re not beautiful to the world or maybe looked at as not valuable. It’s a reaction to whatever situation you find yourself in. It’s making ugly beautiful because you have no choice."
FXXXY dropped his latest single "Paranoia/#1 Stunna" in August.
More details to come.
