During their shopping stint, Gekyume revealed that he wants to become a YouTuber. The six-year-old also expressed his love for his father, teasing that more X music may come out in the future.
As Sloane asked if he had a message for his father, Gekyume replied, “I love him," further asking the content creator about his parents. “That’s good," the boy said after receiving a response in affirmation. “My dad went to a hospital but never made it. I want to make music. I want to rap battle with you," Gekyume added.

XXXTentacion might have left a large and impactful legacy in the world of hip-hop and beyond in many ways, and all of it still remains connected to his six-year-old Gekyume. Since his birth, the little one has been the target of a lot of media attention.

Prior to this, Gekyume’s mother, Jenesis Sanchez, penned a letter to XXXTentacion, stating how the late rapper wasn’t able to see some big moments from their son’s life.
“I used to think, where did I go wrong in a past life when I lost you? Now all I can think about is you, and I must have done something right to create such a divine being. Gekyume. He’s getting so big it’s crazy. To think he’s about to be two—how time’s passing. He’s so grown, saying words like ‘Mama’ and ‘Papa’ when he sees your photos. It’s a bittersweet moment for me every time. He’s so handsome and has so much personality. Super intelligent, bubbly, and full of energy. I can’t with his little attitude, just like yours. Eye roll. But lowkey warms my heart," she wrote.
In 2018, the US rapper was shot outside a Florida motorcycle shop while being robbed of $50,000. Seven months after his death, his girlfriend, Jenesis Sanchez, gave birth to their son, Gekyume.
