DMX will be honored by his family, friends, loved ones and fans in one of the leading entertainment venues in the country – the Barclays Center, TMZ has learned.
X’s Public Memorial will be held on Saturday, April 24 in the Brooklyn arena … X’s former manager, Steve Rifkind, tells TMZ. We are told that the final logistics of the event are yet to be found out – including how many people will be in power and how tickets will work – limited capacity will of course be in place due to COVID.
DMX’s family and more direct contacts will then attend a more private funeral service on Sunday, April 25 at a church in the NYC area.
TMZ broke the story, Yonkers’ mayor, Mike Spano, welcomed the idea of the family that used Yonkers Raceway for the service … X grew up in the city. Nevertheless, there are still plans for DMX to remember there, Spano told us they were considering possible plans for a statue or street name.
DMX reached the Barclays Center stage in June 2019 in what would be one of its last major performances at the Masters of Ceremony event.
The Barclays memorial lasts just over two weeks since X died following complications from an overdose of drugs that left him life-sustaining for a week.
