XXXTentacion's Ex-Girlfriend Details Disturbing Pattern of Abuse

Florida rapper XXXTentacion‘s stage name and reputation has followed him since his rise to fame and throughout the build up and release of his debut album 17. The 19-year-old rapper, real name Jahseh Onfroy, has been charged with aggravated battery of a pregnant woman, domestic battery by strangulation, false imprisonment, and witness-tampering.

If convicted on all four counts, the teen rapper could face a substantial amount of prison time. Onfroy has pleaded not guilty. He has gone on to deny the charges in a number interviews stating the woman was attacked by an another assailant and that she isn’t even pregnant, among other things.

A trial is set to begin on October 5. Pitchfork has obtained an exclusive 142-page transcript of testimony by the artist’s reported victim, delivered over two and a half hours in January at a public defender’s office in Miami. Onfroy’s camp has yet to make any official comments.

Read an excerpt of the testimony below:

• The first incident of domestic violence occurred about two weeks later. He slapped her and broke her iPhone 6S, because she had complimented a male friend on his new jewelry. (XXXTentacion later repaired the phone.) Later that day, XXXTentacion left the room and returned with two grilling implements—a “barbecue pitchfork” and a “barbecue cleaner,” she said—and told her to pick between them, because he was going to put one of them in her vagina. She chose the fork. He told her to undress. He was lightly dragging the tool against her inner thigh when she passed out. He did not penetrate her with it.

• About a week and a half into their stint in Orlando, the woman and XXXTentacion were on their way to a show together. They listened to one of XXXTentacion’s songs in the car and she sang along with his verse. Then she hummed along with a verse from a featured artist on the track. After that, XXXTentacion fell silent and left her in the car outside the venue. Inside, they got into a fight. When they arrived home after the show, he took her into the bathroom. “And he was asking me why I was singing his friend’s part of the song, if I like him, why do I like him, like do I ever look at his Twitter,” she said.

Then, XXXTentacion head-butted her, punched her, stomped on her, and put her in the bathtub, where he continued hitting and kicking her. “He also wanted to cut out my tongue because I was singing the song,” she said. She tried to run away down the street. He tackled her, causing her head to hit the pavement. She suffered black eyes, a lump on the back of her head, scratch marks, and bruises, including a large bruise on her ankle where he stomped her.
