Lil Wayne Pays Tribute To DMX Lil Wayne heaped praise and respect on late rapper DMX during a gig in Miami, Florida on Saturday night. 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.”
