The press statement read: “we’re happy to confirm that Baby and Mother are healthy. Gekyume’s name is derived from a word X created prior to his passing, which means ‘a different state’ or ‘next’ universe of thought”.
The statement further said, “XXXTentacion specifically chose this name for his first born son; his family is honored to fulfill his wish and shower baby Gekyume with love.”
XXXTentacion was 2o years old when he was brutally murdered while leaving a motorcycle dealership in Deerfield Beach, Florida on June 18, 2018.
