Why he might be annoying:

    He said he moved to Los Angeles because Long Island depressed him.

    He was bipolar.
    He died on his tour bus from an overdose of Xanax and fentanyl.
    After his death, his label brought in XXXTentacion to add verses to the song 'Falling Down,' even though Lil Peep had criticized the other rapper for his history of violence towards women -- including removing XXXTentacion's songs from his Spotify playlist.

    He said about his blending of musical styles, 'Breaking boundaries is my main goal.'
    He modeled for Vlone.
    Pitchfork magazine called him 'the future of emo.'
