DMXâs posthumous album,
Exodus, is receiving praise from fans and critics. However, there were many raised eyebrows when a Pop Smoke feature long touted to be part of the album was nowhere to be found upon release.
Swizz Beatz explained what happened during a recent visit to The Breakfast Club. Apparently, X approved every song on the album before his untimely passing. But at the last minute, Swizz says he was not able to use the Pop Smoke verse.
âHe was on the album,â explained Swizz. âBut they used the verse. Thatâs when I put Moneybagg Yo on the track. We was excited for it, but then when we heard that we couldnât use it I was like, Damn. Moneybagg Yo, I got a good relationship with him and he turned it around quickly. I almost had to take the track off the album, so that saved the track. So shout out to Moneybagg.â
