XXXTENTACION‘s five-year-old song has failed the “one bad word challenge” in adorable fashion.
In a video posted online by the child’s mother, Gekyume, who was not yet born when X was killed, was put up for the viral challenge on social media.

The “one bad word challenge” is an online game where parents allow their children to say one curse word.
In the video, Jenesis Sanchez tells Gekyume he can “say whatever bad words” he wants, but the five-year-old, who is dressed as Spider-Man, instead imitates the superhero.

Gekyume then begins singing the iconic Spider-Man theme song from the original 1960s cartoon while pretending to fight enemies.
The post received a number of positive comments, with one saying: “Love this. It’s Sad that his father is physically missing these moments. As a father I know the feeling of being there and just being proud of my sons even if they do any little thing. He definitely has his dad in him.”
Another said: “Kid don’t even know how to be bad, good job mom.”
Gekyume also recently modeled a merchandise collection that was released to honor what would have been XXXTENTACION’s 26th birthday.
The collection came courtesy of Revenge, a clothing company set up in 2016 by X’s close friend Garette, who named the brand after the rapper’s song of the same name.

Alongside photos of Gekyume modeling t-shirts and hoodies, the brand wrote on Instagram: “Happy Birthday Jah, Hope We Make You Proud Today, Lookbook Ft Gekyume and Aiden, @xxxtentacion + @revenge Online Now, Your Legacy Will Never Fade.”
Following its release, it was announced that the collection was sold out in just 20 minutes.
A video was also released of Gekyume saying, “Happy birthday, daddy” at what appeared to be a vigil to commemorate X’s birthday.
Gekyume was not born until seven months after his father was shot to death during an attempted robbery in Florida in 2018.

He was named after a word the rapper created which has been defined as “a different state” or “next universe of thought.”
X recently made another posthumous appearance on Kid Cudi’s latest album INSANO, which came just months after he became the first rapper to have an album pass 10 billion streams on Spotify.
