XXXTentacion's Mother Cleopatra Bernard Battling His Baby Mama Jenesis Sanchez Over Custody Of Son Gekyume

XXXTentacion’s mother Cleopatra Bernard is fighting her late son’s baby mama Jenesis Sanchez in court over custody of his son Gekyume.
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, a Florida judge recently appointed a Guardian Ad Litem in the case involving Cleopatra and Jenesis.
A Guardian Ad Litem is appointed by the court to investigate “what solutions would be in the “best interests of a child.” The official will look into the family situation and determine where a child should live the majority of the time and who should have custody.
The court-appointed Guardian Ad Litem filed a report on his findings in the court battle. The documents are sealed from the public.
Jenesis gave birth to a baby boy, Gekyume Onfroy, on January 26, 2019, months after the rapper was killed. After his birth, she went to court attempting to obtain a DNA sample of XXXTentacion from the medical examiner.
XXXTentacion’s mother objected to the request and demanded the court shut her down. A judge sided with Jenesis and allowed her to obtain the DNA.
In her petition filed, Sanchez explained she and XXX lived together and had “sexual relations during the time that Gekyume was conceived from February 19 through June 18 2018, the day of the Decedent’s death.”
Sanchez said they were not married at the time. She claimed nobody has contested that XXX is the baby’s father but wanted to be able to get the DNA to prove it, which would allow XXXTentacion to be legally recognized as the father.

Based on the court records, it doesn’t appear that a final decision has been made on custody or visitation of Gekyume.
XXXTentacion’s mother, Cleopatra Bernard, is dealing with a separate battle with a music producer named James “Jimmy” Duval. She sued the producer after he filed a $2 million claim against the estate over alleged unpaid royalties.
Cleopatra is attempting to have the court order the producer isn’t owed a dime from her son’s estate.
