XXXTentacion’s March 2017 radio interview with Miami’s 103.5 The Beat, recorded just days after his release from county jail, stands as one of the most explosive and viral breakthrough moments of his early career. Stepping out from behind bars while still facing severe legal charges, a 19-year-old Jahseh Onfroy used his first major media appearance to rocket himself into the national spotlight, primarily fueled by a fierce, unvarnished attack on Drake.
The interview is widely remembered as the catalyst for a high-profile internet feud that defined the underground rap landscape in the spring of 2017.
  • The “KMT” Flow Controversy: The core of X’s anger stemmed from Drake previewing his track “KMT” (from the More Life playlist), which fans immediately noted bore a striking cadence and aggressive vocal delivery similar to XXXTentacion’s breakout underground hit, “Look At Me!” X didn’t mince words, accusing the global superstar of blatantly stealing his flow and artistic style.
  • Questioning Manhood and Integrity: Beyond the music, X took direct aim at Drake’s character. Visibly bitter that a major artist would appropriate the style of an incarcerated newcomer without extending support, X famously called Drake out as “not a man” and a “bitch” for a “bitch move,” arguing that true leaders uplift the culture rather than mimic its rising underground acts.
  • The “Bond Hearing” Regret: In a striking moment of transparency, X revealed how things could have played out differently. He noted that if Drake had actually reached out, shown genuine support, or even shown up to his bond hearing while he was facing potential life imprisonment, he would have gladly given him a 100% royalty rate to hop on a remix. Instead, he felt exploited by a pop-rap heavyweight looking to capture street credibility.
  • Rocketing to Infamy: While traditional industry gatekeepers expected the controversy to alienate him, the interview had the opposite effect. It acted as rocket fuel for his burgeoning fanbase, turning “Look At Me!” into a massive Billboard hit and instantly cementing XXXTentacion as an unpredictable, anti-establishment force who refused to bow to the industry’s biggest names.

XXXTentacion stopped by 103.5 The Beat in Miami to talk with K. Foxx about his time in jail, career aspirations, lessons learned AND goes innnnnn on Drake about allegedly copying his style!
