The ex-girlfriend and alleged abuse victim of late Florida rapper XXXTentacion has spoken out following the rapper's death.

Geneva Ayala — the woman at the centre of the rapper's widely publicized 2016 domestic abuse case — took to Twitter today to write that XXX's death "isn't about me...stop tagging me in disrespectful threads and arguments. i honestly don't care for any of the hype. i lost someone close to me. leave me alone."

In October 2016, XXX was arrested on charges of aggravated battery of a pregnant woman, domestic battery by strangulation and false imprisonment. Further details of the abuse were detailed in an extensive reports from Pitchfork published last September.

Ayala continued: "it's disgusting that people are speaking for me. i don't care if no one cared about me however many months ago, i didn't lose my life. he did. it's permanent. i'm still here. like how do you think that makes me feel? everyone expecting me to be relieved or happy?! no, i'm broken."
