"Don't Cry is a song by American rapper Lil Wayne featuring fellow American rapper XXXTentacion.

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.[5]

The song was released on January 22, 2019, as the album's second single.[6]

Lil Wayne performed the song live for the first time on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on December 12, 2018.[7][8] A video for the song was released on YouTube on January 22, 2019 on the day before what would have been XXXTentacion's 21st birthday. The video pays tribute to XXXTentacion, who was killed in June 2018.
