X would be arrested between June and July 2018 and receive a sentence of approximately 30 years. The quartet that attempted to rob him and consequently kill him would be arrested in another attempted robbery or killed during the action. X would release singles from inside prison, as he did during his time in prison in 2016. His name would remain high for the next two years and then begin to decline, along with a drop in artistic quality, due to the lack of opportunity to expand his own creativity from inside prison. The lack of a new album since ? in March 2018 would contribute to the drop in streaming numbers. X would sink into depression but would soon overcome this phase, although he never managed to recover the reach of numbers he achieved during 2017-2018. Attempts to release compilations, as well as a Free X Part 2 release, would be an absolute failure and would ruin the growth in numbers he achieved between the respective releases of 17 and ?, always remaining between 80th and 70th place on the Billboard charts and among the last in the Spotify top 50 ranking. Ski Mask wouldn't be able to manage the Members Only collective alone, and just like in the original timeline, the collective would cease to exist. X would be marked in almost the same way as in our original timeline; the media would recognize him as a troubled young man who had a rapid rise and who, due to his criminal history, suffered the decline of a gigantic career that he could never recover. X would still be a reference for the new generation of musicians, especially in the SoundCloud Rap scene, and later, he would discover more deeply and develop his ability to help mentally unstable people, and upon leaving prison 30 years later, he would travel the USA giving lectures, talking about his tumultuous life and what he did to overcome these problems... like in those testimonial videos on the BBC. In short... Rick's fate would be bittersweet, like Bojack Horseman.
