AceShowbiz - XXXTENTACION's family has announced the birth of the slain rapper's son.
Cleopatra Bernard, and the baby's mother, Jenesis Sanchez, announced the arrival of Gekyume Onfroy on Saturday, January 26.
In a post shared on her Instagram Story, Bernard simply wrote: "Yume has officially arrived."
Gekyume was born three days after what would've been the rapper's 21st birthday.
"We're happy to confirm that baby and mother are healthy. Gekyume's name is derived from a word X created prior to his passing, which means 'a different state' or 'next' universe of thought," a statement from the family read.
