Swizz Beatz has opened up about calling out DMX's phony friends at the funeral. As previously reported, Swizz said during X's funeral, “I just wish all these people showed up for him when he was here. You got thousands of people claiming who they are and tickets and things like that. This man needed everybody. He didn’t need everybody when he’s not here, he needed everybody when he was here. We have to learn to celebrate each other while we’re here.”
During a recent radio interview, when asked who he was referring to, Swizz said, “From the fans’ standpoint, X got a lot of love. It’s just the other love he was looking for I don’t think he got a lot of. And that’s what made me want to say what I said at his homegoing because I was dealing with a lot of that. And I was with X a lot. Especially, recently. So I was very current in his life and understanding where he was at and what he was going through. So when I started seeing things, naturally as his brother, it just bothered me.”
