Background and release

The vocals used in "Don't Cry" by XXXTentacion were recorded prior to his death on June 18, 2018. Before the collaboration, Wayne did not know who XXXTentacion was. The collaboration between the two artists happened as a result of Young Money Entertainment's president Mack Maine acquiring the rights to use the verse while sequencing and putting together the track list of the album.[6]

Lil Wayne performed the song live for the first time on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on December 12, 2018.[7][8]

The music video was released on January 23, 2019, on what would have been XXXTentacion's 21st birthday.[9][10]
