During the memorial, one of DMX's young daughters gave a powerful rap while paying tribute to her father, leaving many in awe.
"My daddy still holding my hand so I've got to get up. I learned so much from my father, he taught me in the life of my story I'm the author. He told me it's okay to be afraid because some times it will teach you how to be brave... Looking at my daddy picture on the wall, I know he'd want me to be the best I can be... My brothers and sisters we all stand together, throw out the X, daddy forever," the little one sang.
She also rapped how her dad taught her to pray, understand good and bad, promising to do what's right going forward.
It was definitely an emotional moment as many of his colleagues in the music industry, including Swizz Beatz, who spoke at the funeral, noting people should have been there for him as they were after his death.
