The rapper continues, “He has a thing, like an Alize and Hennessey mix, it looks like blood, like he’s drinking blood, and he’s running back and forth. Halfway through the show, and then he takes his shirt. And the whole crowd goes wild.” Jay-Z then recalls in amazement how DMX was able to bring the crowd from raging screams to emotional tears. “He’s going nuts, right? And I’m like, ‘S—.’ First the guys are going crazy, now the girls are going crazy. And then he gets to the end, and he starts a prayer. And now they’re crying, the whole arena is crying. And they’re like, ‘OK, now you go.’” DMX died on April 9 after experiencing a heart attack triggered by a drug overdose. He was 50.

Kehlani Shares the Key to Having ‘Fun’ With Makeup & Her Go-To Product
As for the key to Kehlani’s effortless look? Lime Crime’s best-selling Freckle Pen, which easily allows users to “tap and dab” on some natural-looking freckles. “I oftentimes end up with makeup artists covering up my freckles,” she explains. “I do like coverage a lot for my acne and acne scars, but often, it erases my freckles and so my makeup artist just tends to replace the freckles I already have with the freckle pen.” While makeup artistry seems to come easily to the “Can I” singer, she jokes that her beauty journey was a bit “forced.” “I remember going to Sephora when I was about to go on my first tour and I was like, ‘Can somebody in here teach me how to do a basic face that I can do onstage every day?

Surrounded by a hell-themed backdrop and shirtless dancers, the artist was noticeably caught off guard by the wardrobe malfunction, evidenced by a wide-eyed look of surprise as it happened, followed by a quick grab of his crotch for the remainder of the performance.
