MIAMI – An XXXTentacion fan will win an all-expenses-paid trip for a guided visit to the rapper's mausoleum with his mother and an original portrait.
After her 20-year-old son, Jahseh "XXXTentacion" Onfroy, was killed in a June robbery, Cleopatra "Cleo" Bernard partnered with Artist Derick Myers, better known as Bankrupt, to raise money for the XXX Tentacion Foundation Inc.
Bernard said the nonprofit organization "provides every dollar we receive to underprivileged children and their families" in memory of her son.
The first time Myers painted a portrait of the rapper it was done for an "Instagram shout out." Myers said he was heartbroken when Onfroy was shot and killed five days later. He decided to give it to Bernard.
"I came over to give it to her and we ended up clicking really well and we talked about how her main mission is to carry on the good work that her son was passionate in," Myers said. "I agreed that I was super into that, too, and would love to do anything I could to give back."
Myers painted a second portrait of XXXTentacion, and he and Bernard decided to raffle it to use the money to fund the foundation. At about 7.5 feet tall and 5 feet wide, he said it's the largest piece he has ever made.
"It will be a one of a kind," Myers said. "This design won't be reproduced ever again."
Myers estimates the piece is worth about $7,000. The XXXTentacion Memorial Art Raffle tickets went on sale on Monday at Art by Bankrupt's site.
