One Year Later: Joaquin ‘Waah’ Dean Opens Up About DMX’s Legacy

Just one year after the passing of the legendary DMX, Joaquin ‘Waah’ Dean recently spoke to BET about the legacy of DMX and his passing. Waah founded Ruff Ryders Entertainment in the late 1980s along with his sister Chivon Dean and brother Darrin “Dee” Dean. Waah stated: “It was beautiful to take that journey and give this music to the world with X. Even though he had times when he didn’t wanna show up, he showed up and did his part. He became bigger than artists who had fewer problems than he did. X was the truth and he represented it to the fullest. Most artists blow up and pass that peak in their careers where they’re no longer in the position they were in and they turn to everyone and anyone to get on. X was Ruff Ryders ‘til he died. And we rode with him, through the good, bad, and the ugly. Nobody complains when things are good. So, when things were ugly, we weren’t going anywhere. We rode the wave and enjoyed the ride.”
