The haunting video directed by JMP features the late rapper attempting to deflect negative energy in his life by literally fighting his demons. As he attends his own funeral, the body in the casket jumps out at XXXTentacion and attacks him. Throughout the near six-minute clip, the Florida rapper is fighting another version of himself, throwing the being against walls with inherited powers and more. The video ends with him being victorious, either a metaphor for real-life or a full anime tribute. As often as X spoke about his death and death in general, it’s an eerie visual to take in given the circumstances. Watch the “Sad!” video up top.
