He was rushed to hospital after having a heart attack. Reports indicate that his condition remains fragile and he is on life support.
It was an emotional scene as fans holding their fists to the sky chanted “DMX”.
His fiance and ex-wife were all in tears as a prayer was read for the 50-year-old rapper.
According to reports, a motorcycle procession later paraded down the street in front of the facility as DMX hits including “Ruff Ryders’ Anthem” rang out.
Fans present at the vigil were full of praises for the Artist and said they were keeping him and his entire family in their prayers.
