Florida rapper XXXtentacion was shot and killed in an apparent robbery a few days ago.
The 20-year-old gained notoriety for his music and also his alleged crimes; he was charged aggravated battery of ex-girlfriend this year.
The controversy saw the rapper dropped from his record label and banned from Spotify but he still had legions of, mostly young, fans.
Music reviewer Kate Robertson explains why he was so popular with teens.
