Although the rapper’s death occurred weeks ago, DMX’s tributes continue to flow throughout the world.
The latest being this past Sunday when actress Paige Hurd, also known as DMX’s Goddaughter, took to Instagram and shared a gut-wrenching tribute dedicated to her godfather along with the last picture of them together taken only one week before his passing.
Hurd penned a poignant caption on her Instagram, “7 days prior…This is was the last time we hugged, we danced, we held hands. The last time we said I love you, the last time I would ever hear you scream PUMPKINNN. when we are together, we are inseparable, & we DO NOT play about each other.”
“I just can’t believe this was our goodbye. Shock has been my feeling the past month since I got the worst call in the middle of the night. The shock & grief is heavy, uncomfortable, and hard to express. I just don’t have much yet. Forgive my silence,” she continued.
“I love you so much. I’m so proud to be your goddaughter. You are a part of my world, and my heart aches terribly these days and will never stop.”
