MIAMI Beach, Fla. (AP) — Kanye Westward surprised fans at a tribute honoring the late rapper XXXTentacion during Art Basel, jumping onstage to perform a brand new vocal that features West and the rapper who was gunned down in Florida earlier this year.

During the Th nighttime release party for XXXTentacion'due south first posthumous anthology "Skins" at the RC Cola Plant, the entire anthology was initially played all the way through. When it played a 2d fourth dimension, West abruptly walked onstage to perform "One-Minute" and the audience roared. An animated video for the song also played in the background. West also briefly brought the late rapper's female parent, Cleopatra Bernard, onstage.

Several other rappers, including Lil Wayne, Trippie Redd and PNB Stone, also paid tribute to the immature rapper. Wayne gave an emotional performance of their vocal "Don't Cry" and the crowd sang XXXTentacion's function. Many in the audition were teary.

The 20-twelvemonth-quondam rap star, whose real name was Jahseh Onfroy, was fatally shot as he left a motorbike dealership in June. Officials said a struggle ensued when the rapper's sports auto was blocked by some other vehicle, two masked gunmen approached and shot XXXTentacion (ex-ex-ex-x-ta-see-YAWN) multiple times. The gunmen fled with a Louis Vuitton bag containing $50,000.

XXXTentacion, who sported dreadlocks and facial tattoos, was a platinum-selling rising star who tackled issues including prejudice and low in his songs. He besides drew criticism over bad beliefs and multiple arrests, including charges that he severely shell and abused his girlfriend.

His music got a mega heave after his death.

His album was ane of the top five most streamed on Apple Music in 2018 and his song "Sad!" was the 2d most-streamed vocal on Spotify this year.

His manager Solomon Sobande described Thursday'southward album release equally a "triumphant" evening for longtime fans to "see their hero on a major scale accepted as the popular superstar that he is."

Although it was "bittersweet", Sobande said it was also "a reminder that his message, his music, everything he didn't go didn't become anywhere but will live on."
