It has been a year since rapper XXXTentacion was charged with aggravated battery of a pregnant woman, domestic battery by strangulation, false imprisonment and witness-tampering. XXX has claimed to be innocent, but has decided to donate $100,000 to domestic violence programs to prove himself.

He made the announcement through a series of Instagram stories. XXX began by apologizing to women who felt “violated” by his recent comments. Last month, XXX threatened anyone who called him a “domestic abuser” and added “If you want your p***y domestically abused, hit my line.” This line did not sit well with his viewers, many criticizing him for mocking domestic abuse.

But today XXX apologized for his outburst over a series of Instagram stories.

The rapper continued his apology and said that he wants to “stop making it a joke to disrespect women.” “That sh**t don’t set right to me, especially since I’ve joked about it in my own words,” he wrote. “…I do sincerely apologize.”

He continued the happy vibes and towards the end of his rant said that he’s “going to try to make the world a fun place again!”

Now, it was just announced yesterday that the rapper signed a $6 million record deal with Capitol Records, so maybe with this big step in his career, he wants a fresh slate.
