A DMX fan has revealed how the rapper helped her forgive her father for his addiction battle.
Twitter user @sheeeluhhh took to the social networking website to explain how DMX, whose real name was Earl Simmons, helped her to forgive her late father during a chance encounter.
"We met in 2017 after I heard him from my room in the hallway of my hotel. It was all divine intervention. I ran to the hallway & met him. We spoke for 15 mins," she said.
"Sometimes in the moment you don't understand the significance of a moment until it's passed. To this day, I credit X for helping me learn forgiveness. I am praying that he gives himself grace - in this lifetime and beyond. His words and impact have left a deep legacy," she added.
While the Twitter user did not reveal exactly what the rapper said to her, his words had such a profound effect that she believes a higher power was at work during their conversation.
"God used him & his words as a vessel in this lifetime - words that will outlive his earthly existence. Prayers & light to his children and family. May he rest in the power that many of us found in his words & art," she said.
Celebrities have also been paying tribute to the late rapper following his death at the age of 50.
DMX's two-time co-star Jet Li paid homage to him a tweet, writing: "Rest In Peace DMX, a true legend. It was truly my honor to work and get to know you."
Former NBA star and Lakers alum Shaquille O'Neal added: "We lost another Legend R.I.P DMX."
The rapper's death was announced by his family on Friday (April 9) following his admission to hospital on April 2 after suffering a drug-induced heart attack.
"Earl was a warrior who fought till the very end. He loved his family with all of his heart and we cherish the times we spent with him. Earl’s music inspired countless fans across the world and his iconic legacy will live on forever. We appreciate all of the love and support during this incredibly difficult time," his family said.
