By Robert Longfellow Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Swizz Beatz was closer to DMX than most, and made it a point to call out the phony friends who werenât there for the late rapper when he was alive at his homegoing. In a recent interview with Angie Martinez, Swizz stood by what he said about X not getting the love he needed, and sycophants in his cipher. âI just wish all these people showed up for him when he was here,â said Swizz at the Barclays Center on April 24. âYou got thousands of people claiming who they are and tickets and things like that. This man needed everybody. He didnât need everybody when heâs not here, he needed everybody when he was here. We have to learn to celebrate each other while weâre here.â
