I listened to 17 last year and "?" as soon as it its no. 1. His 17 album was a hit based on rating which rose him to fame. Its just like an unknown individual released an album then it got all the attention and rose to fame. Artist like SZA first project was far back as 3 years ago still are considered as new comer because they just got recognised on their second project. X got popular on his first outing which rose him to fame prematurely rhetorically, you know what I mean? Even Kendrick Lamar gave his best in Section 80 and still wasn't recognized, he rose to fame 2 year after when he Released gkmc which was regarded as a new comer (upcoming).

Not all artist are fortunate to make a clean break on their first project... To music critics, he's still a new comer, an upcoming artist... I'm sure if u give him a space of a year, he will become popular like a regular artist. Even Cardi B is popular than X and was still regarded as Upcoming at the last Grammy, her best is yet to come.

You dope bro... I'm a big fan of X. He is like a third class rapper. Reasons why Drake didn't hit on him when he accused him of stealing his style. Drake barely knew him. Read above comment for more.

JayB11:

Shey u prefer dem Wizkid and Timaya, how u go take knw im? Last two months, he had abt 4songs on US top 100 Billboard Chart.

Even if he had about 4 songs on billboard 100 chart, he didn’t have any hit song here and he wasn’t popular. Or maybe he is more of an RNB guy than rap. If his RNB I wouldn’t know, but for rap I know all the old and new hitmakers.

MENTORCH:


Yeah offcourse Beyonce can be richer than Messi, I follow hip hop music a lot I know all the old school and the current new guys making waves. like tekashi, lil pump, nba young boy, lil yatchy,21 savage, lil uzi vert, tee grizzly, yfn lucci, lil baby. All this guys have hit songs yet not all of them are millionaires because of taxes and stuff.It’s not easy like that. There is no way that guy would have been worth 2million dollars unless he does other things.

What's 2 million dollarS?

Even youtubers likes of ksi and Logan Paul are worth more than that

Marrtynze:

Lol upcoming, someone that his song was number 1 on the US billboard 200 music charts, guy wasn't too known in these parts but he was definitely not upcoming, his 17 album was widely known, didn't really know him too well but I sure came across a few of his songs which were pretty decent even though he was a bleeped up guy

His songs was never numbe 1 On th billboard
The highest was 32 or something

emmyid:




He isn't big. He is like a 3rd class American rapper. He got popular on sound cloud, and has just one official video which isn't too dope. I'm his fan. His highest deal was recent, 6m dollars. His fan base on FB is 1m. He is upcoming, but unique sound. He just did a song with Kodak black which isn't a hit though.

If he is upcoming
What is Davido and wizkid then ?

The ghy has 11 million ig followers
and he is not following one

Na wao for you O. His followers only increased after his death. See, many Americans didn't even know him. Before his dead, he hadn't much followers. Davido and Wizkid are kings in Africa, and far bigger than X. X don't roll with first class stars, but these two do. X biggest Collabo was with Kodak black, and Kodak isn't big compared to who these two guys roll with. All the hype now was after his death.

His biggest success was a paltry 6M record deal. I'm his biggest fan, but I'm being honest.

Yeah, seen... X life is just full of drama, just looking for rap beef all around, he attacked J Cole, J. Cole replied maturely, calling him a good rapper. That life of drama might what put him in this position making him vulnerable, he has lots of enemies, not just in rap but in real life.

You are the one that gave them the 2million dollars. OT genesis that has had about 3 mega hits in America. Coco,cut it and push it and has been in the game for about 5years is worth 4million dollars. Is this guy that nobody knows any of his song that will be worth 2million dollars. Are you confusing naira to dollar. Even young thug is just worth 3million dollars.

You are so dumb, All that one doesn’t make his song a hit. If you don’t have a hit track in America it will be very hard to be a millionaire. Also show me his songs on billboard before he died.

X don't have up to two official music videos on Youtube and you say he is bigger than Wizzy and Davido, his only video was in that song where he hung a white kid, and that video wasn't a high budget video. X has just one smart car, a BMW convertible, and you compare him to Wizzy and Davido? Has X ever been nominated at MOBO, can X shut down any city aside his hood in South Florida, X just bought four houses and the total amount he used in buying these four houses is lesser than the worth of one of Davido's house.

X was still up and coming bro

So sad! But the guy was too rough!

He was about to turn a new leaf. Bro started changing his wways..so sad it was too late.

Which song did he attack J Cole?

Not a song, he abused J. Cole on a tweet or IG mention or so, J. Cole then hail him, sometimes last year.

Check X wiki page... it wasn't a beef, he dissed J. Cole, Cole then call him a good rapper, Cole was like he diggs his style of music.

Drake never had beef with X, it was X that's going around looking for beef with him. Drake didn't even reply him with all the KMT allegation he was placing on him, to Drake his just some kid looking for attention
