Fans Mourn Rapper XXXTentacion At Florida Arena#BIsX

Fans Mourn Rapper XXXTentacion At Florida Arena FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - Thousands of fans of the late rapper XXXTentacion chanted his lyrics and made X signs at a Florida stadium Wednesday as people lined up for hours to file past a casket where he was laid out in a denim jacket and with two braids splayed over the side. Security guards flanked both sides of the casket, surrounded by black roses and silver leaves, and a row of spotlights lit the stage at the 20,000-seat BB&T Center in Sunrise, Florida. Loudspeakers at the viewing blasted songs by the rapper, who was gunned down last week at age 20 while departing a motorcycle shop in his luxury electric sports car in what police said was an apparent robbery. On the way into the arena as well as on stage near the casket, many fans wept openly, held hands and hugged each other. Another fan, Andrew Cusumano, said it was sad XXXTentacions life was cut short at the start of his career.
