Two Posthumous XXXTentacion & Juice WRLD Collabs Could Be on the Way

Two Posthumous XXXTentacion & Juice WRLD Collabs Could Be on the Way

The late XXXTentacion and Juice WRLD have two songs that are ready to see the light of day, according to Lil Bibby and DJ Scheme.

Bibby — who heads the label that reps Juice WRLD, Grade A Productions — took to his Instagram Stories and posted a screenshot of a group chat between his team and XXX. DJ Scheme posted the IG Story on his X account, asking, “Who’s ready?”

A few minutes later, Scheme sent out another tweet, saying, “Confirmed two songs are coming out.”

Both artists were working together before they suddenly passed away. Juice WRLD died of an overdose in 2019 and XXX was shot to death during an armed robbery a year prior in 2018.

In 2020, Scheme — who was XXX’s DJ and a close friend to Juice — sent out the tweet below implying new music from the two and responded to a fan who told him to “keep his word” by saying, “Working hard to make this happen as we speak.”

However, Juice WRLD’s ex-girlfriend Ally Lotti threw cold water on Scheme’s tweet, telling a fan on social media who asked about a possible collab, “I was there when he recorded the verse for jah.”

Adding, “This happened over a year and a half- two years ago y’all. This wasn’t new info. Doubt it’ll come out. I’m guessing if it was it would have already been. so idk but i have video from that night. J made two or three song a we were in a hotel room over seas.”

Juice WRLD released a two-song EP in honor of his friends XXXTentacion and Lil Peep after the former had passed.

The rumored songs won’t be the first time the late rappers have had their work released posthumously. XXX’s team released albums Skins in 2018 and Bad Vibes Forever in 2019 while Juice’s team dropped albums Legends Never Die in 2020 and Fighting Demons in 2021, respectively.

XXXTentacion’s debut studio album 17 made our list of the 100 Best Rap Albums of All Time.
