XXXTentacion had hired her to be a model for his clothing line, Revenge. While he was out, Flores and another girl got into an argument and blamed each other after $7,000 was stolen from his bag. Flores was fired from her modelling job by him and both of the girls were kicked out of the house. Flores checked into a hotel room and committed suicide.[2]
Some of her family were honored that XXXTentacion made the song about her and some really did not like that he did not ask for their permission first.[2]
