Lawyers for XXXTentacion, born Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy, presented paperwork in court on Friday, December 1, that included a request from his ex-girlfriend to drop the numerous charges against him. The document stated that she would no longer cooperate with prosecutors and wants the case to go away.
However, Pitchfork reports that Miami-Dade County prosecutors question the affidavit's validity and plan to move forward.
In October 2016, the Florida rapper was charged with domestic battery by strangulation, aggravated battery of a pregnant woman, witness-tampering and false imprisonment.
According to Pitchfork, prosecutors have now decided to split the case up. They will first pursue the most serious charge of witness tampering, which is a first-degree felony.
The other charges against XXX are second-degree and third-degree felonies.
If convicted the 19-year old is staring at a potentially lengthy prison sentence. He has pleaded not guilty.
The next hearing in the case is set for December 15.
