Rapper Kanye West is doing his utmost to help DMX's family after his death. Kanye West donated the $1 million (R14 million) that he made from a custom-made DMX shirt by the brand Balenciaga to the late rapper's family.
The T-shirt was commissioned by Kanye's Yeezy brand and was sold as soon as DMX's memorial service was underway. They made millions quickly and Kanye was kind enough to donate his earnings to DMX's family.
Not only did Kanye sell T-shirts in DMX's honour, but his Yeezy brand also designed the stage for the memorial service. His Sunday Service Choir also performed at the memorial and this shows that Kanye was indeed involved, in more ways than one.
