“I got to see the funny side of him, we got to laugh at a few jokes,” Ross recalled on the People Everyday podcast. “I saw him really focused and turned up. And hearing about his addiction many years ago, being in the industry, it’s something that’s been in my heart the most.”

Ross then said that he understands what a monster addiction can be and that he hoped the rap game would be motivated by X's passing 

“Me having family members that suffer with addiction, I understood the struggle that he was up against,” Rick Ross continued. “So it’s something that was really painful. Of course, I didn’t expect this. And it just hurt. So if anything else, it should motivate us. Let’s do what Dark Man X would have wanted us to do. Let’s turn up. Let’s go to the next level.”
