Jahseh Onfroy (Xxxtentacion)’s Tragic Death & What’s Actually Wrong About Society
R.I.P
Jahseh Onfroy Was Just A Human Being But The Internet Never Forgets
Jahseh Onfroy alias Xxxtentacion was shot and killed yesterday in his hometown in a robbery that went wrong. Besides losing another talented young individual, it made me reflect on a lot of disturbing things I saw on my timeline in the last 24 hours.

The very fact that he was robbed and killed broad day light in the middle of Miami is pure nonesense. I was listening to an old 50 cent joint in which he said:
”It’s Like Tradition, Rap N****as Die In Their Whips.
So I’ve Spent A Little Chips To Bulletproof My Sh*t”
Xxxtentacion getting gunned down by drive-by shooters made the line resonate loud and clear. People described ”X” as a man of the people who would hang out in local parks and talk to his fans on the street.

Was it about jealousy? Did the ”Sad” singer had beef in the street? Or was it just that good old greed, that envy and that desire to strip someone from his possessions because you can’t get it on your own and it burns down your soul.
A bunch of things we’ll probably never know. A part of the world is already setting up a new X-might-be-hidding-in-Cuba-with-2pac conspiracy while the few people with logic understands that this is just the cons of the job.
Never get it twisted, being a rapper is a J-O-B. Even though you don’t clock in, clock out there are still stuffs you have to deal with and its hard.

When you fill the application for ”Rapper Inc”, after all the ”More Money Than You Can Imagine” and the ”Women By The Caseload” clauses. There’s one specific task at the bottom line of the contract and it says :
”Stay Alive By Any Means”
Every genre has their issues. Rockstars deal with drugs, rappers deal with someone trying to kill them in every corner. Perhaps, when does it stops though?
I was 6 when Tupac & Biggie started what became a ”tradition”. Fast forward today, things haven’t changed much but yesterday something really caught my attention.
If Tupac & Biggie stories were taken place in 2018, you know what would’ve been different? Quite simple, people would’ve rushed to their car like kids running after the ice cream truck.
Not for assistance, concern or anything that would make them less of zombie-like beings. They would Snapchat/Ig Story’ed those legends lifeless bodies. Trust me, they would Facebook Story the whole thing even though no one cares about FB stories.

How do I know? Because that’s exactly what they did to Jahseh Onfroy. They even had time to zoom in on the bullet entry point in his head.
They had multiple angles, the black bar with the now infamous ”X Shot” as a caption turning this into a moment. At this point and time, I was even surprised of not seeing special hashtags such as #xxxtentacionmurderscene trending (please don’t do it!).
What does it says about our society? What if this selfie session would’ve been replaced by an emergency call? It could’ve been the call that would’ve make the difference? Once again, A bunch of things we’ll probably never know.
One thing I do know though is this, in this Black-Mirror-season-2-episode-2 era people are desensitized to a point where it just doesn’t make sense anymore.
Oddly enough in comparison, helping this kid who just got shot was too hard to do but disrespecting his memory and saying he deserves what happened is so easy.
Jahseh Onfroy alias Xxxtentacion, was only 20 years old, had his life ahead of him and had another lifetime to prove to us that he was more than the allegations the internet is currently bringing him down for.
I don’t know what inspired him to write ”Sad” but the current climate of things probably reflects how might’ve felt. Rest in peace to a true musical genius and let’s instead celebrate the impact he had in such a short time.

This Year Malefycia Is Colliding Horror And The Bible To Make The Thrill Of Halloween Real Again
Malefycia Is Restoring The Feeling, One Spooky Scream At A Time
Long are the days when I was cruising down the streets on October 31st either looking for candies to devour for 3 weeks straight or even as an adult looking for a popping club where I could tell people ”My costume is ME tonight”.
The truth is, I think Malefycia restored something that I thought was buried inside me. They reminded me that not only I liked Halloween but I just couldn’t find an alternative in my adult life to spark my curiosity on one side and get the thrill going on the other.
Malefycia been around for a minute but this year they’re trying something different…I mean different.
You’re familiar with the 7 sins in the bible don’t you? You’re aware of what a haunted house is supposed to be don’t you? Well, something in their team had the genius and actually vicious idea to combine these two things who might have nothing to with each other on the outside looking in but in this new adventure/haunted house experience; it all make sense!
their show called V7CE is cross theatre performance, cross the most scary thing you’ve ever seen. The show includes different scenes and interactive plays putting on the forefront the 7 sins from the bible.
What always stand out to me when it comes to Malefycia, is there raw and authentic attention to details.
Do yourself a favor and come immerse yourself in this universe and your inner child and your thrill-seeking inner adult have some fun.

What I appreciate the most about my work is the fact that I get to meet great minds & humans with a powerful story and this time around, I got to cross path with the talented Myraï Lavoie.

The city has been quiet fashion wise over the years and as platform that mostly talked about fashion in its inception, we’ve felt it the most over here.
There would be sparks of hope here and there but besides Festival De Mode & Design, not a lot of things really stood out.
When I heard about ”The Glitch” it’s like I knew what it was about without nothing what it was about.
I mean good branding is good branding but it was more so who’s behind the good branding this time around. I had the chance to work with Myraï Lavoie in the past and one thing I can is : there’s a method to her madness.
Every artist has an eye and that eye is shaped by our views of the world and life experiences. Myraï had an interesting life.
One where being different is actually the move. One where if you don’t fit somewhere, you don’t try to get in the mold, you bend it.
For all the lack of support or misunderstand she got in Montreal, she found a place to be creative working or being in room with the likes of Paris Hilton & P. Diddy to name a few.
What she’s learned from coming out of her shell and experiencing the world she’s about the share it with us with her own fashion called ”The Glitch” tonight.
”The Glitch” is exactly what I thought it was going to be. A standout experience and experience and something you’ve never seen before just like its creator.

We are now entering an era where we want to know more about what is going on on the other side of the world.
How people are living, their culture and what is their reality compared to ours.
Sometimes the depiction of such reality is either unfair or made to look down at somebody. Other times, filmmakers have the challenge to depict a reality in a way to uplift what other cultures are bringing to the table.
Milan Bihlmann and Muammer Yilmaz are two filmmakers who know where they stand when it comes to that.
”Rêves D’Afrique” is the epidemy of that. The two filmmakers decided to go to 7 countries in Africa to not only paint the picture for the world but to give the good people out there something we forget to give one another : ”a piece of yourself’.
Armed with a backpack, film gear and true altruism, the duo spread love and good deeds wherever they could throughout their trip.
Watch The Trailer
Les Grands Explorateurs being this platform to uncover the world made the right choice by adding this beautiful piece to their program.
Up until November 1st, you still have the chance to see the beautiful piece in theater and then online starting November 2nd.
