DMX appeared to be in a worrying altered state during his show Friday night.

What was meant to be a joyous occasion for DMX fans Friday night left many questioning why his collaborators had allowed him to perform. After performances by the Ruff Ryders roster, who were celebrating their 20th anniversary at Brooklyn’s Barclay center, X took the stage and delivered an erratic set which included confusing rants and incomplete vocal performances. According to attendees of the show, he was visibly under the influence of drugs to the point of concern. “DMX is standing on a speaker and he definitely has some substances in his body,” one audience member speculated. “This crowd is stressed for his safety.”

“Shit is sad I woulda rather not have come to this. Shit was hype til he came out and crumbled,” another fan in attendance wrote on Twitter. “Why is his crew letting him rock like this?”
