It's been six years since XXXTentacion passed away from injuries related to a shooting, and in honor of the anniversary, his fans are looking back on his life and tremendous legacy. Ahead of his death, the artist was expecting a child with Cleopatra Bernard, Gekyume. Sadly, the two of them never got to meet, as XXXTentacion died seven months before his son's arrival. The child's loved ones, as well as fans, continue to remind him just how impactful his late father was regardless.
It appears as though the boy, albeit only five years old, is starting to get a sense of his dad's stardom. In a new clip, for instance, he's seen adorably posing alongside eager fans. He flashed a peace sign while rocking a t-shirt featuring XXXTentacion's face, clearly happy to make supporters' days.

Gekyume Flashes Peace Signs As He Poses With Fans
While Gekyume may still be a bit young to fully comprehend his father's fame, it's obvious that he's well on his way, and embracing having become an icon in his own right. This isn't the first time fans have seen him paying tribute to his dad either. Back in April, footage of the child proudly showing off a framed photo of XXXTentacion onstage performing surfaced online. Most were glad to see the young boy in good spirits, celebrating his dad despite not having the opportunity to get to know him.
Not everyone had the same reaction, however. YMT Boatwright, one of the men allegedly responsible for taking XXXTentacion's life, reposted the clip alongside several laughing emojis. Clearly, he has no remorse for leaving Gekyume without a father, which may or may not change as he spends the rest of his life behind bars. What do you think of XXXTentacion's 5-year-old son Gekyume posing for photos with fans?
