The rapper’s remains in a crimson casket were placed in a monster truck emblazoned “Long Live DMX”, with hundreds of bikers majority from Ruff Ryders following the procession to the funeral arena at Barclays.
They zoomed while revving up their engines, some did stunts while others rode while standing up.
DMX songs blared from car speakers, passing motorists also honked to show solidarity in mourning the Hip hop icon.
Kanye West and his Sunday choir performed at the memorial.
Ruff Ryders rappers such as Nas, Swizz Beats and Eve including members of DMX’s family shared memories of their times with the fallen ‘Lord Gimme A Sign’ Star.
