Kanye West played a major role in DMX’s memorial by bringing his Sunday Service Choir to the Barclays Center, but it didn’t take any persuading on Swizz Beatz’s end. During a new interview with Hot 97, the Ruff Ryders producer detailed Yeezy’s involvement in helping send off Dark Man X at the Brooklyn venue following his passing on April 9.
“It was a very genuine act of love and support from Ye,” he said. “You know, it wasn’t too much talking, it wasn’t no negotiating. X showed up to his Sunday Service and was a big fan of it so I knew that this was something X would want to do, and Kanye was more than happy to facilitate his expertize and his choir. Shout out to the entire Sunday Service.”

Lil Wayne Pays Tribute To DMX

Lil Wayne was performing as part of Trillerfest when he took a moment to honour the fallen star, who died last month, aged 50.
Sharing a story about touring with DMX, Wayne said: “When I was a younger kid, we used to be on tour a lot, right. Like six months a year. We used to have so many artists we didn’t need to have no opening acts ’cause we just needed another record label, and it was just us and them. So back then we went on this tour called The Cash Money/Ruff Ryders Tour.”
