Memorial For DMX Planned At Barclays Center

A memorial will be held for DMX at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center next week, two weeks after the Yonkers rapper died from complications of a drug overdose.

The hip-hop icon, who died at the age of 50 after spending a week in a coma, will be honored by family and friends on April 24.

A source working on the event told Page Six that it will be closed to the public. Fans will, however, be able to watch via livestream.

New York State guidelines currently restrict Barclays Center to 10% capacity.

DMX performed at the venue twice, according to Billboard. Barclays Center opened a decade after the rapper’s chart-topping heyday.

A funeral service will be held for the Yonkers-raised rapper the next day at a New York church, the outlet said.

The news comes after the office of Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano told The Post that a TMZ report stating that plans were in the works to honor DMX at Yonkers Raceway were inaccurate.
