This weekend, friends and family of DMX will say their final goodbyes. A memorial service for the late rapper is set to be held today at 4 p.m. in Brooklyn. The COVID-19 health guidelines have restricted attendance to “A Celebration Of Life Memorial” for strictly close friends and family members since the Barclay’s Center can only host 10% of their usual capacity.
Hours before the ceremony, the Ruff Ryders were in full effect as X’s casket was taken to the Barclay’s Center in a monster truck which read, “Long Live DMX” on the side. Followed behind the truck was the Ruff Ryders bike crew who came out in numbers to ride X to the Barclay’s Center. One Twitter user said that over 2000 bikes were riding through Trinity Bridge for X. A birds-eye view of the scene corroborates this claim.
