This comes after reports hit the media that DMX’s record label, Def Jam records neglected the rapper when he was admitted in the hospital and later released a compilation of the rapper’s greatest hit songs on most major music and video streaming platforms the very day the rapper died.

Ms. Lauryn Hill, who was the only female member of the American musical group ‘Fugees’ is regard as one of the greatest rappers of all time and still holds the record of the most female rapper to Grammy Awards for 8 times.

She is best known for her controversial personality and leaving the music scene at the peak of her career after dropping her debut solo album titled ‘The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill’ in 1998 and winning five Grammy awards out of the works on that album including ‘Album of the Year’ and ‘best New Artist’ at the 41st Grammy Awards.

In her tribute to DMX, she stated how frustrating it is when it comes to the way labels treat their artists, which was one of the major reasons why she left the music scene back in the days.

Read full message below;

I have a lot of frustration when it comes to how artists are treated, the willful neglect, the energy made to sabotage and block, the attempt to addict for the sole, selfish purpose of containing and controlling the essential expression of artists, the agendas that put commercial gain over everything without serious regard for the well-being and care of the people whose gifts, abilities, experiences AND traumas are used to generate so much for so many. RIP DMX, may God heal and transform you into all the beauty He intended for you. May He reconcile and cancel your debts and provoke dramatic change in those who contributed to your pain. May your family, children and those who truly loved you be held up, healed and supported through this devastating loss and may the world realize how expensive these premature departures are to the families, to the arts and to the world in general.
