DMX touched the lives of many!
One of them was his longtime friend and collaborator, Swizz Beatz.
The New York producer took to Instagram Saturday (April 10) to share a heartfelt tribute to his fallen friend.
He captioned it: “Long live the KING!!!! DMX." In the video, Swizz is seen holding back his tears as he expressed a few words about X.
“Thank you for all the prayers and the blessings for my brother, the great DMX," Swizz said. "Let me tell you something man, my brother man, was a different type of brother, different type of artist, different type of creative, different type of spirit, different type of zone, different type of soul."
"Since the day that I met him, he lived his life for everyone else. I’ve never seen him live his life for hisself. You ain’t never seen DMX with a Lamborghini, you ain’t never see my brother with a Rolls-Royce. You ain’t never seen him iced-out with no jewelry, he did not care about any of that. DMX was the biggest! Let me tell you why he was the biggest. He was the biggest because he prayed for everybody else more than he did for himself. He’d get on that stage and pray for 15,000 people knowing that he needed more prayers than everybody that he was praying for. My brother would pray for everybody before he prayed for himself. My brother would take care of everybody before he would take care of himself, Swizz added."
