Kanye West reemerged in the media last weekend for something other than his very public divorce by helping raise over $1 million to help out the family of fellow rapper and Christian brother DMX.Â
The money was raised after West commissioned a charity shirt designed by Balenciaga for Yeezy in remembrance of the late emcee whose birth name was Earl Simmons.

Earl “DMX” Simmons.
On Sunday,
TMZ reported that the $200 shirts sold out within 24 hours over the weekend. The net profits from the shirts, which feature the likeness of the rap artist and text that says “In Loving Memory,” will be given to Simmons’ family. The shirt was also promoted on Simmons’ Instagram account on Saturday.
‘Balenciaga has been asked by Yeezy to design a T-shirt in tribute to the late artist Earl Simmons, aka DMX. A tribute to the artist and his fans with net proceeds benefiting Simmons’s family,’ the post read.
