“Y’all don’t even know the truth behind all this” — XXXTentacion's killer Michael Boatwright reportedly argues in a statement

XXXTentacion’s killer, Michael Boatwright, allegedly released a statement where he refused to apologize, stating that he is “not this evil person.” As posted by DJ Akademiks on X, Michael, who continues to remain in the prison, stated:

"Y'all just judge me off this one thing y'all know bout me but y'all don't even know the truth behind all this, I'm not this evil person that everybody think I am and nobody even know me as a person y'all believe in everything u see on social media, I'm not sorry for nothing I did. #itsstillfreeme."

For the unversed, XXXTentacion was killed on June 18, 2018. At the time of his death, the rapper was 20 years old. XXXTentacion was fatally shot after being robbed in his car by Michael Boatwright and three other men, Trayvon Newsome, Dedrick Williams, and Robert Allen.

Allen pleaded guilty to robbery. He entered a plea deal and testified against the others.

It is yet to be confirmed if the statement posted by DJ Akademiks was really by Michael Boatwright, as he is currently in prison. Boatwright was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, with another 30 years in prison for other charges. However, the alleged post continues to make headlines.
