Earlier today, we shared a video from XXXTentacion in which the rapper said the only way he'd continue to make music is if Ski Mask the Slump God becomes his friend again.

When XXX made that post, it wasn't clear why he and Ski Mask had a falling out.  But the 'Life is Short' spitter went on social media and cleared things up.

"I’ll always love that alien-looking nigga named XXX," said Ski Mask. "I had to distance myself because it’s like nobody would see me as an individual rapper if I don’t. On top of that, that nigga crazy as hell."
