I met DMX at HU Homecoming right b4 he took off & our homie chain had just got snatched & X randomly walked up to all of us & asked “whats wrong wit yall” we told him & he simply said “Find the nih who did it & make him pay…if you cant find him? Find somebody that looks like him….& make him pay”. Took a pull from a cig & walked off. Craziest 💩 I ever seen in my life 🤣

The late Hip Hop icon will be honored during a January service at Foster Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church, an Underground Railroad landmark in New York.

Key Takeaways

  • The ordination will take place at Foster Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church, a historic Underground Railroad site in New York.
  • DMX’s ministry was expressed through music, public prayer, and his openness about faith and redemption.
  • The event brings together community leaders and fans to reflect on his spiritual path and cultural influence.
The spiritual legacy of DMX will be formally honored this month, as the late Hip Hop icon is set to be posthumously ordained as a minister during a ceremonial service in New York.

The Gospel Cultural Center announced that DMX, born Earl Simmons, will be ordained on Saturday (Jan. 10) at Foster Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church in Tarrytown. The service is scheduled for 3 p.m. and will take place at the historic church, which was founded in 1860 and served as a verified safe house along the Underground Railroad.

The ceremony’s location carries deep symbolism, reflecting the rapper’s lifelong spiritual struggle and his impact as a figure who publicly wrestled with faith, pain, and redemption. Rather than preaching from a pulpit, X’s ministry lived through his music, prayers, and unfiltered honesty.

“Earl Simmons wrestled with God in the public square, turning his pain into a ministry of raw truth,” Bishop Dr. Osiris Imhotep, founder of the Gospel Cultural Center, said in a statement on Facebook. “This ordination recognizes the divine calling he fulfilled every time he spoke a prayer into a microphone.” Further details for the ordination here.

The service will include scripture from Acts 17:31 and is expected to draw clergy members, community leaders, and fans whose connection to the “X Gon' Give It to Ya” hitmaker extended far beyond music. For many, his openness about faith, even at his lowest points, made him relatable and deeply human.

Foster Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church remains one of the oldest Black churches in Westchester County. Its role in helping enslaved people escape to freedom adds another layer of symbolism, connecting DMX’s journey to a site long associated with liberation and resilience.
