Jahseh Dwayne Ricardo Onfroy, AKA XXXTentacion, was born on January 23, 1998, in Plantation, Florida. He spent the majority of his childhood with his grandmother Collette Jones. He changed several schools, due to being expelled from each, mostly for attacking other students. During his time in middle school, he started attending school choir and later church choir, which sparked his interest in music.
He attended Piper High School but dropped out in tenth grade. Shortly after, he got arrested for gun possession and spent some time in the juvenile correction center, where he met Stokeley Clevon Goulbourne. After getting out, they started freestyling together and Jahseh, who adopted the name XXXTentaction (tentaction means temptation in Spanish), uploaded his first song, called “Vice City”, on SoundCloud.
