DMX’s memorial service was full of important moments but none more than his daughter rapping a song in his honour.
At one point during the Celebration of Life, Earl “DMX” Simmons’ 15 kids took to the stage to share memories of their dad. His one young daughter decided to rap a song she wrote for him.
“I’m growing, I’m learning to hold my head, my daddy’s still holding my hand so I gotta stand up,” she sang. “My brothers and sisters, We all stand together, Throw up the X, Daddy forever”.

Keeping with safety protocols, only family and friends were invited to the memorial at Barclays Center. Before the ceremony, a procession took place with his red casket being carried by a monster truck that read “Long Live DMX”.
Kanye West and his Sunday Service choir also played a big part in the memorial.
DMX died on April 9 at 50 from a heart attack six days earlier.
On Sunday, April 25, a Homegoing celebration will also be held which can be viewed on BET at 2:30 p.m. ET and on YouTube.
