In a world of musical histories, some bring higher levels of fame, inspiring not only the human feeling. The life of Aiden Onfroy is a tragic story, with fictional elements intertwined with one of the most significant narratives of the second half of the 2010s rap – XXXTentacion, his brother. It narrates family ties and, personal loss, and the effort to save a complex inheritance.
Early Life
Aiden Onfroy was born into a world that would change so drastically because of his brother’s quick success and untimely death. Not that his childhood was unremarkable- he was born and raised in Plantation, Florida, which doesn’t exactly sound like a hub of excitement.
The Onfroy family was to feel the heat and sting of risks a family has to bear when one of them is destined to be a future international music artist. It cannot always be easy to grow up as the sibling of a publicly polarizing person.
Many early experiences that Aiden has been able to enjoy include watching his older brother Jahseh evolving from a local rapper in Florida to an actual global music star. This was not an easy ride, and indeed the late, XXXTentacion was no stranger to the law courts and controversies.
As for Aiden this was a task to reconcile representation of his brother to the public and self-identity. Dealing with a brother who was both loved and scorned would not have been easy. So, there was great need for such high levels of endowment of tolerance and reasonableness.
Career
Though it is still unclear how devoted Aiden Onfroy was to a career in music, he has been rather fruitful in his role as a brother and the protector of his brother’s memory. After being shot dead, a sad and avoidable event for the young artist XXXTentacion, Aiden left himself a great role to play in his brother’s life and death.
It might be more appropriate to say he has managed the cultural and personal inheritance of XXXTentacion rather than steering a career. This is entails overseeing of the many cultural legacies that come with being in a band that was famous for the musical genius that Frank was to his brother.
About Brother: XXXTentacion
Although, XXXTentacion’s life involved legal problems and accusations of domestic abuse the younger Denholm has not ceased trying to make people empathize with his brother. He is responsible for preserving fans and critics of XXXTentacion’s music.
When aspiring musician Jahseh Onfroy, known by his stage name XXXTentacion, was killed in June 2018 at the young age of 20, the music world, and fans all over the world were rocked. To Aiden, though it was a public event, it was a form of loss that changed the course of his life, it wasn’t a one-day affair.
New character elements became a part of his journey: the need to carry on his brother’s art patronage and to protect the younger son. More of his experiences can be still written as his family showed the triumph of love in the face of adversity.
