Rapper XXXTentacion, who recently made headlines for hanging a white child in his music video, has announced he is quitting the entertainment business, citing ‘mental abuse’ and ‘hate’ as he awaits trial for alleged vicious assaults of his pregnant ex-girlfriend.

“Sad to announce I will not be making or releasing any music, I am tired of being mentally abused for trying to help people, I’m tired of the hate, I’m done,” he wrote in an Instagram post.

“I want to be treated better, protected from the hate,” he said in a follow-up post.

The rapper also claims he plans to void his deal with Capitol Records, after reportedly signing a $6 million contract with the label just days before.

“Terminating my deal with ‘capitol records,'” he wrote. “I am not a ‘signed’ artist, and I will not be releasing music for a very long time, I’m tired of this sh*t.”

However, multiple media outlets have contacted representatives of the rapper for comment, and have been told that XXXTentacion is still very much a ‘signed artist’ – walking away from a multi-million dollar record deal isn’t exactly as simple as a proclamation on social media.

“XXXTentacion is signed to Caroline/Capitol Music Group,” said his rep. “Only X can elaborate on his posts.”

Infowars reported on a recent XXXTentacion music video, which the rapper wrote and directed, and features various scenes of disturbing, graphic violence, including one in which he slips a noose over a white child’s head and hoists him into the air to die while a young black boy watches.

To date, the video has over 20 million views, and an overwhelming majority of ‘thumbs up’ votes.

“The video has not been age restricted or de-monetized on YouTube, despite the Google-owned company de-monetizing a broad range of political commentary for being ‘offensive’ over the last 6 months,” wrote Paul Joseph Watson.

Another scene depicts an angry classroom mob beating up a white teacher with dildos.

The video was featured in YouTube’s ‘trending’ section, and is still not age-restricted.

XXXTentacion, who real name is Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy, is currently awaiting trial that is scheduled to commence in December in Florida, where he was charged with aggravated battery of a pregnant woman, false imprisonment, domestic battery by strangulation, and witness-tampering.

Additionally, Onfroy spent nearly six months behind bars earlier this year after his alleged involvement in an armed home invasion and aggravated battery with a firearm.
