Before You Go
In May 2020, DMX shared his thoughts about going up against fellow rap icon Eminem in a hits battle. The Ruff Ryders leader admitted he still wanted to face-off against music mogul JAY-Z.
“Em don’t want it,” X said in the footage. “I’d rather go with my arch nemesis – he don’t gotta come outside, he can sit in the house. He scared to go to the basement and play some records? … It’s a celebration, we’re celebrating music.” -DMX’s Instagram
