Aside from his strong cult following among a young fanbase, and the mainstream success this eventually brought him, an unavoidable aspect of X's legacy is his status as one of the most controversial rappers of his time. A series of domestic abuse allegations, incidents at concerts, instances of repeated violent behavior, and beefs with other rappers (most notably Music/{{Drake}}, who X alleged stole his flow from "Look at Me!" for his song "KMT") were continuously attached to his name. X was also regularly in and out of jail for a variety of different cases; in fact, "Look at Me!" was gaining popularity ''[[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity while he was still in jail]]'', inspiring the fan battle cry of "free X".
On June 18, 2018, X was shot in a robbery at a Florida motorcycle dealership. About an hour and a half later, he was pronounced dead at 20 years old. Four suspects were arrested in connection with the killing. In 2022, one of the four pled guilty to second-degree murder in exchange for testimony against the other three; the following year, the remaining three were found guilty of robbery and first-degree murder and were sentenced to life in prison.

The news of X's death sparked mass reactions of shock and grief, as well as conversations about the state of his legacy in light of his premature end and his controversies. Some stated that X's controversies ultimately went on to [[OvershadowedByControversy define his legacy]], but others criticized this idea (especially as regards how he was portrayed in the media) and argued that he was working on bettering himself at the time of his death, and that his life should instead be remembered as a testament to second chances and redemption.
