Wifisfuneral Defends Relationship With XXXTentacion’s Ex After Ski Mask The Slump God Calls Him Out

XXXTENTACTION

Wifisfuneral is facing backlash after revealing that he went on a date with Genesis Sanchez, the mother of XXXTentacion’s child. The post was slammed by people who still have strong emotional ties to the rapper, including Ski Mask The Slump God, who questioned Wifisfuneral’s motives and raised a separate claim against XXXTentacion.

The drama kicked off after Wifisfuneral posted about hanging out with Sanchez. The meeting quickly became a talking point among fans and people around the late artist due to her connection to XXXTentacion. While some thought the situation was distasteful, the news hit Ski Mask especially hard.

Ski Mask responded to Wifisfuneral, who had previously attempted to use voodoo on XXXTentacion. He also made a separate allegation concerning XXXTentacion’s mother, adding another provocative claim to an already heated exchange. His comments made it clear he was unhappy about Wifisfuneral going on a date with Sanchez.

Wifisfuneral didn’t take the criticism lightly. In his response, he flatly denied ever using voodoo against XXXTentacion, stating he had no reason to do so and wouldn’t pretend to have that kind of power. He also rejected suggestions that his meeting with Sanchez was an attempt to capitalize on the late rapper’s memory or seek attention.

The rapper gave his own account of their relationship, saying he and Sanchez had known each other since they were 13 and dated until 2016. Wifisfuneral said they hadn’t spoken or been in contact for the last decade until they bumped into each other by chance. “We just picked up where we left off,” he said, adding that there was no intention of turning the meeting into a public show.

Wifisfuneral also acknowledged he understood why the situation might not sit well with some people. But he insisted that the public interpretation did not reflect what actually transpired between him and Sanchez. “There is nothing for either of us to gain by turning the meeting into a controversy or using it for publicity,” he said.

The dispute underscores how relationships with a late artist can be particularly fraught for fans and former collaborators. For many listeners, XXXTentacion’s death is still an emotional part of his story, and the people closest to him continue to draw attention when their lives become part of the public discussion.

At this point, Ski Mask and Wifisfuneral’s claims are still competing statements. Ski Mask has questioned the rapper’s motives and alleged past wrongdoing, while Wifisfuneral has denied any wrongdoing and shared a different account of his past with Sanchez.

The exchange has heightened tensions, and there is no indication the two artists have settled their differences. For now, Wifisfuneral is standing by his explanation as backlash around the date continues.

Jacqueline Kelly, Former Diddy Prosecutor, Takes Lead on Cornell Sexual Assault Investigation

diddy-1-e1793925258626

Jacqueline Kelly, a former federal prosecutor who helped oversee the sex-crimes case against Sean “Diddy” Combs, has been tapped to lead a reopened criminal investigation into allegations of sexual assault at Cornell University. The appointment brings in a prosecutor who worked on a high-profile case into another sensitive investigation, almost two years after the alleged incident.

New York Attorney General Letitia James announced Wednesday, November 4, that Kelly was appointed as outside counsel for the Cornell investigation. The investigation will be reopened, and the role will involve reviewing evidence and interviewing witnesses.

In taking on the new assignment, Kelly’s background is notably shaped by her previous work on the Diddy case. The Combs investigation drew considerable public interest, and Kelly helped oversee the sex-crimes case against the music mogul. Now she’s at the center of another investigation with serious allegations, and she was chosen for the Cornell matter.

The Cornell investigation is into an allegation of sexual assault alleged to have happened nearly two years ago. The criminal investigation is back on, and Kelly has been tasked with reviewing the evidence and interviewing witnesses. The review is focused on those steps, but the information provided does not outline the particular evidence currently under review or the witnesses who might be interviewed.

Kelly will be outside counsel, James’s announcement said, putting her in a leadership role in the investigation. The appointment does not reach conclusions about the allegations or hint at the outcome of the inquiry. The work described aims to review the evidence and collect information from witness interviews.

Hiring a former federal prosecutor who handled a high-profile sex-crimes case is a significant development for the reopened investigation. Kelly’s history with the Combs case has drawn attention to her new role, but the Cornell matter is a separate investigation with its own facts and evidence.

This is an important next step in the process – it’s been almost two years since the alleged incident. The announcement said the investigation is proceeding under new leadership, with Kelly responsible for reviewing the material and interviewing people with relevant information.

No further information has been provided about the allegations, the evidence, or when the process might occur. Nor is there any indication as to when the investigation might end. So far, all that’s been confirmed is Kelly’s appointment and the duties she’s been assigned.

Now that James has made the decision public, the attention will shift to the reopened investigation and how it unfolds under Kelly. The appointment has a high-profile connection to her involvement in the Diddy case. Still, the Cornell inquiry will ultimately be determined by the evidence and witness accounts collated during the review.
