Due to the corona measures, the service was only for people who were close to DMX, aka Earl Simmons. The ceremony could be followed online for fans. Hundreds of people had also gathered in the street to applaud and wave at the visible red box on a car with which the rapper arrived. Before the service, the New York DMX made one last tour of his neighborhood. Among others, the rapper’s fifteen children and their mothers and his fiancé Desiree Lindstrom sat in the room. Several family members gave a short speech.
