Nigerian rapper MI Abaga has credited late DMX as the reason he started rapping.
The 39-year-old stated this in a message he posted on social media following the American’s death on Friday.
“The greatest rapper to me.. the reason I started rapping has passed on..
“I promised myself I would meet you one day.. now I know my bucket list will never be completed.
“Rest in peace Earl. The world was not fair to you but you did your best!” MI wrote.
DMX died at White Plains Hospital in New York five days after suffering a heart attack.
The performer, whose real name was Earl Simmons, had been placed on life support and died with his family by his side.
