XXXTentacion took to social media to explain the disturbing imagery in his latest video “Look At Me” and also apologized to anyone he offended.
The video includes X knocking out a teacher and shows several children being lynched. “The significance of the first part of the video, with me beating up the teacher and knocking him out is basically saying I was teaching a lesson, so I just wanted you to know it was a part of the sequence of the video,” he said. “Thank you very much” He also addressed the staged lynchings in the visual. “About me hanging the child. If you don’t remember, there's three people hanging in the beginning,” he continued. “There’s three people. I’m 19. Emmet Till is 14. Philando Castille being in like his 20 or 30s.”
X defended his artwork and said he’s going to mind f**k his audience. He said the murders portrayed in the video were all “real” that he re-enacted them for educational purposes. He also claimed that the message of the video isn’t reverse racism, but that it's meant to pose the question of the shoe being on the other foot in terms of whites being lynched instead of blacks. Check out the clip to see his full explanation.
