Notably, BLXST shared the robbery clip on Friday and requested everyone to pray for his family. He started by writing:

"The level of strength it take to not crash out rn smh. Imagine being across the country away from my family during one of the heights of my career & waking up to my son face timing at 4am saying "I think bad guys are in the house.""

Matthew added that he was angry for not being available to save his children and continued:

"I take pride in being humble and pure but to be honest idk who to trust I'm just glad my family good overall. Thank god I'm in position to go to war and willing to due behind mine."

BLXST grew up in a musical environment which contributed to his career: Early life and other details explained

Matthew has accumulated a huge fanbase over the years. He developed an interest in music during childhood when his mother used to play Lauryn Hill records and nalthough his parents separated at one point, it helped him to create new beats and lyrics.

The artist was inspired by rappers such as 50 Cent. While speaking to Passion of the Weiss in 2020, BLXST recalled the things he learned as a resident of Los Angeles, saying that people need to find their path by themselves.

"It's easy to get lost in a lot of the BS that's going on outside your doors, but I think really believing in yourself and staying true to yourself is the definition of finding your own path, so you can navigate through all the BS that goes on."

Matthew shared that when he came to Inland Empire, things changed a lot since the teachers were strict, and was feeling isolated. He said that his father always arrived late at home and he had to spend time working on his laptop, music, or skateboarding.

BLXST even thanked his uncle in the interview for introducing him to music, calling him the "first rapper" he knew, and added:

"He always told me, "If you want to be a rapper, find a word in the dictionary every day and find the definition," and it'll help me with my wordplay, so to speak. I also remember my mom and my sister having vinyl in the house, using the record player to listen to Lauryn Hill and stuff."

BLXST said that he had a friend named King who helped him to join TIU Muzic, saying that he learned the importance of building a brand. He then collaborated with Nipsey Hussle for a project titled Sixtape and later gained recognition for his single Hurt.

Apart from his solo projects, Matthew has been featured in the albums of other artists such as Mozzy, Blueface, and Fireboy DML. Back in 2022, he released a mixtape, Before You Go, and has three EPs in his credits. He has been praised for his musical skills in several songs, including Don't Forget and One of Them Ones.
