Kanye West's Yeezy DMX tribute shirt created with Balenciaga has apparently raised over $1 million for the late rapper's family.

TMZ reports that the DMX tribute long-sleeved top commissioned by Kanye West's Yeezy and designed by Balenciaga has raised over $1 million for DMX's family, after going up for sale on Saturday (24 April) to coincide with the DMX memorial at NYC's Barclays Center.

The shirt was priced at $200, and featured DMX's birth and death date on each sleeve, and sold out in just 24 hours.

When the shirt was announced, it was confirmed that net proceeds from sales would be given to DMX's family.

Kanye West was also involved with the memorial service at Barclays Center on Saturday (24 April). His Sunday Service Choir performed at the event, and TMZ also notes that West and his Yeezy team helped design the stage with visual artist Akeem Smith.

Earlier this month Swizz Beatz released new Godfather of Harlem track "Been To War", which featured DMX and French Montana.
