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.
